I have had dogs my entire life. I entrust very few people to care for my dog and I assume we all feel the same. My possible neuroses assures that I will care for your precious pet as if he or she were my own. I started walking dogs when I was 8: she was a white German Shepherd named Heidi. I am comfortable with any size or breed and walking small groups (3-4 max). I worked for a professional dog walking and boarding business for several years, and on my own. I used to be a vet assistant. I am a writer and do that at home, but I take a lot of breaks to play with my own dog, a small mixed breed named Stella. She literally gets along with everybody. But she gets lonely for canine company and loves visitors!
