I have two cats that are 3 1/2 and 2 years old. They are friendly and love to be around people. I taught one of my cats to high five for treats and he does it consistently. He will even walk on a leash sometimes, but he gets distracted easily so the walks tend to be rather brief. My siblings have dogs and I walk them when I visit them. I have experience walking dogs who love to stop and smell and one dog that doesn't like loud noises. I'm careful to keep dogs close while walking them in high traffic areas and also when loud vehicles go by. I have experience with bathing my cats, trimming their claws, brushing them, and brushing their teeth. Your pet will be safe and happy in my care. I'd love to have the opportunity to walk your dog, big or small and to care for your pet.
