I grew up with cats and only owned dogs as an adult. I share my home with my young son and our two pets, a cat and a dog. Turtle is our 17-year old tortoiseshell cat who, as a kitten, darted into my college apartment with her brother and hid under the stove for two days until they were brave enough to come out. My first dog was Apache; I adopted Apache, an Australian Cattle Dog mix, from the City of Albuquerque animal shelter and was lucky to spend almost 10 years with him exploring the sidewalks and trails in New Mexico. He set the bar high for future dogs. We recently adopted our 9-year old cocker spaniel, Toby, from a family at school who could not take him when they moved. Turtle and Toby live peacefully together with us in Rio Rancho. I am available to walk your canine family member from 6-7am and 6:30-9pm on weekdays and most times on weekends in Northern Meadows in Rio Rancho. I am most comfortable with small and medium sized dogs. Each 30 minute walk can include a visit to the Los Montoyas dog park in Northern Meadows. I enjoy my time exploring Northern Meadows with Toby and look forward to meeting your dog!
