I was lucky to grow up with several dogs, a terrier a husky and a great dane. I helped my daughter start a dog-walking business over ten years ago. "Clients" ranged from yorkies to goldens to shepards, many have been with us for several years and feel like part of the family. The apartment is dog friendly. Being near the beach and waterfront park, there are great places to walk. It is great fun to have dog friends. Personally, I am conscientious and responsible. I have a car and flexibility. As a back-up, my sister is a veterinary doctor.
