“I have been a dog walker and dog boarder for Friends for Pets for 3 years now and it is the most rewarding and enjoyable job I have ever done. As a lifelong dog lover and avid walker it is just the perfect combination. Tramping across the Mendips or the Quantocks with one of my regular four-legged friends is my favourite time of the week.” NS

“I have worked for Friends for Pets since last September. It has been a great experience getting to know different dogs and their individual personalities and meeting their lovely mums and dads. The beauty is I get to have the company of dogs around me but also the flexibility of being able to fullfil my family reponsiblities “ SP
