I have always had a dog in my life and this will give me the opportunity to spend my free time during the day to walk and care for animals. I am very gentle with animals and care about their well being. Physically I am in very good shape and still have a lot of energy available to walk and keep up with active animals. I can welcome overnight stays in my home for very small dogs but can only manage large dogs on a visit at their home or walks in the parks. If a dog is in need, I would not mind bathing him or her. This has always interested me as something I could work at after my career in the oil and gas industry was complete. I think over time I will have many return clients once given the opportunity to show my care.
