I grew up with dogs in the family. I have cared for my own pets (dogs, cats, guinea pigs ) and friends and family pets ( dogs, cats, goats and horses ) throughout my life. I really love animals and dogs are my favorite. My current goal is to become a Certified Dog Obedience Trainer. I will begin training this fall. Meanwhile, I would love to help you out with your dog (or pets) by providing excellent care and companionship. My availability will be wide open after January 1st 2019. I walk for exercise so it would be great to have your dog(s) with me getting their exercise also. I am also willing and able to care for your cat, guinea pigs and birds etc.
