I'm retired from my job in transportation and I live with my son, daughter-in-law, granddaughter and my wife. When I'm not playing with my granddaughter, I take care of our family rescue dog. She is getting older and doesn't walk as far so I would love to take your dog on my daily walks. I spend some weekday mornings attending English class and I am learning to communicate better every day.

Information Ali D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has special needs, is afraid of anything, or needs to walk at slow pace. I am especially happy to take care of older dogs.

I like to walk dogs around at their pace. I'm happy to explore the Fairlington neighborhood with them and stop for all the sniffing and watching.

I had many dogs on the farm where I grew up and I currently feed, walk, and train our family rescue dog. I am very patient and happy to move slowly with older dogs or do long walks with younger dogs.
