I'll admit that I'm one of those people whose voice gets a little higher when I see a puppy or a cute dog on the street so this is kind of the perfect hobby for me. I don't currently have a dog but that's because I live in a apartment that doesn't allow them and I'm not home much so it wouldn't be fair to them anyway--all the more reason to become I dog walker though I say. I do have a fluffy low-maintenance cat named Shelby and she's the sweetest, most of the time :). I grew up with multiple dogs and cats and even a raccoon when I was a kid so I've been around animals all my life and I have loved every minute of it.
