I grew up with several Golden Retreivers! 5 yrs ago, we decided to welcome a Golden Doodle into our home and our kids love to play with her! She is very friendly and always loves to play with other dog friends! As I have watched friends and family pets, I had thought of offering to walk / watch others dogs as well as I am not working and have some time to do this for others that are working. I also love being outside and going on walks. My teen/preteen kiddos love to join me in helping a lot of our friends pets during their out of town trips. Helping families out with their dogs has always been fun for us and we decided to look into more ways of doing this as I am home during the daytime and am free to play/walk with other pets!
