I am recently retired and have an open schedule to spend time with your pets (cats/dogs). I love walking and being outdoors - having a canine companion makes it more fun. I ensure each pet is feed and has walk/play time but most important, try to keep close to a schedule they are used to. I believe a tired dog is a good dog - the more attention they get the happier they are. I currently own dogs and cats and comfortable caring for both. For many years, I have taken care of friends pets (dogs and cats) and decided to share my availability with others. I love photographing animals which is a free benefit for you providing your dog likes engaging with the camera.
