Hello, going out hiking has been a hobby no since I was young that translates well to walking dogs. I have a belief that each animal has their own personality and I make it a point to get to know each and every animal's personality I am to be involved with, so I will be able to provide better care for your dog or cat. In my spare time I've been walking dogs at pet shelters, THIS IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR THAT, just a way to make a little extra money for some pet projects around the house. I have two dogs of my own, Chris and Puppup. They are very well trained. I do teach a dogs basic obedience. I love all puppies.
