I'm a retired college professor who walks dogs because he loves them. I have been caring for dogs in San Francisco for over 17 years and have always enjoyed it - even in bad weather! I grew up with dogs in our house and learned to care for them at a young age. As a dog walker, I've taken care of just about every kind of dog. From three energetic pugs to a pair of medium-sized mixed breed dogs to some gentle pitbulls, I've found that every dog has a unique personality, This goes for cats too. There's nothing like a kitty to show you who's boss! I have sterling references and professional knowledge of canine and feline behavior. I've volunteered for the SFSPCA and PAWS for many years. My three dachshunds own my heart. They are truly the best friends I have in the world.
