I have always loved dogs. I received my first dog as a birthday present when I was 10 ( a wheaten terrier). I currently own 2 dogs, a rather grumpy 15 yr old blue heeler and a very active3 yr old heeler mix( loves flyball & agility). I have also owned horses, fish and various small mammals. I have been working as a dog walker/ pet sitter since 2000. I have walked and cared for almost every size and shape of dog ( mini poodle - akita). I am always happy to snuggle and play with a new puppy but I understand that senior dogs want love too. I am willing to walk dogs individually in a neighborhood or with a group at a park. Additionally I am comfortable caring for cats,birds reptiles and other exotics. I will be happy to water plants and gardens should that be a need
