Information Ally D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your animal has any special needs. Also it’s helpful to know if they have any fears, anxiety or aggression toward other people or animals.

A typical day

I can accommodate whatever your preference is. I love to be outside, so taking your dog to parks or on long walks is not a problem. I’m interactive and fun, so can play many games with your animals and stimulate them!

Pets

Huge Animal Lover here!!

Pet care experience

I have a 1 year old dog named Autumn and an 15-year old cat named Snowpuff. Both of them were rescued from other states. They are my best friends! I will treat your animals as if they are my own. People may think that I'm crazy, but I really love animals more than I love people. They supply us with unconditional love, no matter what. And they are just so stinkin cute! Whenever I'm having a bad day, I just snuggle with my animals and I feel so much better! I am also a dog walker on Wag and have a 5-star rating with tons of walks under my belt!!
