JOB DESCRIPTION

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MYSELF

I have an exceptionally intelligent miniature poodle, called Milo, he is more a small child, rather than just a dog, so I am looking for someone who doesn’t mind dogs. He is very friendly. Unfortunately he has been used to having someone around all of the time, and gets overly anxious when left alone.
