About: I have had and taken care of mine and other's pets for over 20 years. I have experience with all different ages, breeds and personalities.

About: I have always been careful when taking my dogs out on a walk. Never crossing the street on a green light, even if there are no vehicles in sight. I tend to keep a tight leash with the dogs. Keeping them in my sight and always cleaning up after them. I would also enjoy sprinting down the block with my dogs to get them tired as they are a highly energetic breed. When it comes to caring for a pet in a client's home I would always make sure the dogs feels safe and have fun with me I would really just take them out on long walks around the city or just let them have fun in a park with plenty of open space. I will maintain the feeding schedule given to me by the clients and if they allow treats I will bring treats
