About: I have had dogs my entire life. I have always loved to take care of them. I am good with any kind of dog! I am also a cat lover. I have never had cats personally but I have many friends who own cats. I have helped friends out when they have gone away and taken care of their cats. I am a teacher and off in the summers so I can take care of needs anytime in the day and day of the week I am used to walking dogs on a leash with or without a harness. I am used to a dog that pulls. Dogs are fed twice a day and taken out multiple times.
