I grew up with the animal whisperer (my mother)😆. So was around lots of different animals, mainly dogs and cats, and helped care for them. Then had a few of my own dogs. My last dog was Romeo, my English Bulldog. He is the one in the pictures on my profile. I loved him and took care of him for 12 years, until he passed April of this year. I miss him so😢. At this time I am not ready to get another dog and part of the reason I would like to offer my services as a dog walker, sitter, etc. And while I love all breeds of dogs, I am partial to the English Bulldog. They are chunky rolls of love and (yes) are super high maintenance. I am very familiar with walking at their pace🐢, stopping, motivating them to get back up, and or picking them back up! Cleaning them, giving or tricking them into taking their medication, playing with them, which includes throwing the 🏀 and sometimes being the one to retrieve it🤭 tug a war too. the slower, the wind (oh yea I know about that). Overheating and making sure they're cool. And like I mentioned above, I grew up around other types of dogs and can love and take care of them too. My bully started having some health issues by about 11 (they age quicker than some breeds) and I took care of my aging love until it was time for him to cross over the rainbow bridge😇🌈. I am comfortable with pets at all stages of their development.
