I have loved animals from a very early age. When I was at school I used to look after the school animals, to be honest I loved being with the school rabbits more than doing my school work. In 1994 I got married and moved from my home in Brighton to live in Bedford, at the time I had to take any job I could find,started working in a factory which I really didn’t like, but in 1999 I started looking after animals on a part time basis after work.

At this time we had about 26 rabbits and 100 guinea pigs of our own which I really enjoyed. We used to show guinea pigs and won several prizes. Someone at our club said 'why don’t you call yourselves Fullers Ark?' That’s where our name and logo came from. In 2001 I was made redundant and decided now is the time to go full time.

I have never looked back it was the best thing that happened to me, I often walk about 13 dogs a day and in the summer I can do up to 15 house visit for cats. I am often out the house from 7.30am till 9pm at night.

It's hard work as I do about 37000 miles in my car a year, and walk about 15miles a day, but I love it and I wouldn’t change it for anything. Several years ago we decided it was time to get a dog of our own as we always walk other peoples. Then a year or two later, we used to walk a cavalier by the name of Kerry, her owner became ill and asked if we would take her in, so now we have 2 dogs, and we wouldn’t be with out them.

When we go away, out of season normally, an early holiday and a late holiday - we always leave them in our house and get someone to visit, they always seem very happy, as you can see by there pictures on this page.
