Hello, I've had dogs of my own for about 20 years and know how they aren't just companions but family members. My own Holly is 8 and loves car trips and walkies best of all. Does your friend need a brisk walk to burn energy in the afternoon? Does she want a couch buddy to feel secure and read bedtime stories if you are out of town? I've got you covered. What you want for your friend to be happy and confident is my goal. I also have extensive experience caring for cats, parrots and other birds large and small, rabbits and other mini-pets. I know the ways of the red dot, the litterbox scoop and having an in-depth conversation with your birdy buddies. Every pet in the family will be cared for lovingly if you are gone for a few days or just an afternoon.
