I live in an area where there are plenty of pets to go around, but unfortunately you don't get to see them very often. The reason being is because their owners never like to take them out for a walk. You can always hear them but not see them. My partner and I can never understand this, and we've always wanted to walk up and ask them, "can we borrow your leash and walk your dog since you're not doing it"? This very reason besides having a genuine love for animals and babies, the most helpless and innocent creatures known to mankind is why I decided to step out of my comfort zone and take on the role of caring for someone else's pet dog besides my own. So you can relax and still make a living knowing your dog is in good hands.
