I've worked for a dog walking/sitting company, Hound and Country Pet care. They are based out of Beverly, MA. I worked for them through my college years and learned a lot. I worked for them for 3+ years and experienced walking/sitting dogs of all ages, behaviors, shapes and sizes. Before I work for Hound and Country Pet care, I also ran a business that my friend I started when I lived overseas. It was a small company that my friend and I took ownership of. We experienced much of the same that I experienced with Hound and Country pet care later in life. I am also a pet owner myself. I have a 9 week old Staffordshire/doberman mix, her name is Riley and I have a collie/Rott mix, His name is Kelso, he's a very lovable guy and loves making new friends. He is a year and 2 months. He has all his shots updated and is always looking for a new friend. I take him on walks/hikes almost every single day. If I do not take him on a walk/hike we go to the dog park to meet other dogs. We're still learning more about Riley, but she's full of energy and hasn't met a dog or person she doesn't like. I also had dogs while growing up. I've had a cocker spaniel, a lab/pit mix and a Maltese.
