I am a former animal shelter volunteer and frequent pet sitter for all kinds of animals, large and small. I not only have experience pet sitting, I have also trained and rehabilitated shelter dogs. I also volunteer at a cat rescue as well. I have experience working with shy and problematic animals, and have helped train and rehabilitate dogs and cats. I have more than ten years experience handling dogs, cats, and even other kinds of animals. I am a large and strong fellow, and I am able to handle the big dogs as well as the small guys. I am a long distance runner and work out at least four times a week, so I can walk your pooch as far as they need to go and also handle the big and tough puppies.
