I have personally had pets my entire life starting with cats, and moving onto goats, dogs, birds and many animals in-between. I am the guy that will stop a conversation to go over and pet a dog. I am able to do some light training with your pets, but mostly will give them the love and attention they need and want while their parents are away! Depending on your pets need we can go on long trail walks to short walks to the end of the block (seniors need love too.) When I was a child my mom used to lovingly tell me that animals loved me because I smelled like that. I am happy to announce that animals do still love me and I no longer smell anything close to one.
