I love dogs and I love walking so this is the perfect job for me! I am a cat person, too. I am a recently retired kindergarten teacher that is looking for part time work. I will take care of your dog or cat with the same love, care and patience that I have taken care of children for the last 28 years. I have had dogs most of my life and I currently have a 9 year old , 90 lb. black lab named Smokey. Smokey has had several surgeries and is on medication so I am comfortable filling those needs for your pet if needed. For many years, I have been going to the homes of family and friends to check on their pets, keep them company for a while, feed them or walk them.
