Dogs have always responded to me affectionately. I have had dogs and cats all my life who have lived healthily to extreme old age. I thoroughly enjoy interacting with dogs and cats, and prioritize keeping them safe and happy and giving them the attention they need to thrive. I provide excellent service, including longer duration walks for high energy dogs. For example, I used to walk my neighbor's black lab for two hours every day. I have also been a loyal dogsitter for a friend for a week every summer for twelve years.
