General Friendship (walks, talking etc)

Your personal description:

Mature responsible man offers a reliable pet and property minding service, with references from over a decade of satisfied owners of many happy canine and feline clients; not to mention grateful reclusive rabbits, swish fish, bolshie budgies, earnest Guinea pigs and regularly watered aspidistras. While house-minding, I work from my own computer and phone; dining out only occasionally, in couth company. My few ditto visitors tend to be mature members of the reading classes, not given to collecting cutlery. A non-smoker, my only afflictions are a taste for classical music; a good book; the odd fine flick; taking the odd fine pic; and the fun of rounding up galloping prose, and doggerel.

Always willing to be taken for regular walks by a good keen mutt, often in my dedicated dog-mobile to interesting new places with fresh sniffy sensations, I also offer walking-talking therapy to those suffering from open-luggage induced I've been left behind again! post-traumatic stress syndrome. Can also gently deal with canine bath-tub phobia; This ain't my preferred brand! tucker strikes; and even the most theatrical and convincing cases of after-dinner short-term amnesia...errr, what dinner? Fresh grass and carrot distraction therapy offered to rabbits suffering from subterranean delusions of grandeur, or paranoid tendencies to dig deeper to avoid the warren terra, started by that clever bunny from Texas. Neighbours from hell treated with aplomb and all conversations with the parrot and budgie guaranteed to be expletive-free.

All in all as good an experienced all-round pet and property minder as you're likely to meet in a day's march who will, of course, leave your house as immaculate as you left it.
