I have owned pets all my life and treat my pets as members of my family. Knowing that we live in an area with coyotes, I always keep my pets indoors and keep them up to date on their vaccinations, etc. I also allow them to sleep on my bed at night :) When I have walked my dog or other peoples dogs, I always carry bags to pick up their waste and dispose of it properly, thus ensuring a clean space for the next person who walks that same path. I feel this is not only being responsible but also considerate of others. Also, don't be surprised if I take photos of your little loved one and send them to you periodically. I feel it makes you more comfortable to know they are fine and happy. Anyone who knows me knows I love animals and would highly recommend me. Looking forward to taking care of your pet!
