I love dogs and have been lucky enough to be a part of the lives of 5 lovely female Laboradors, all of whom loved excercise: swimming, running, fetching balls were part of the daily routine in our household, as well as a daily dose of enthusiastic snuggling. Since I am unable to own a dog of my own right now (my job as a gardener takes up too much of my time during our working season) I also volunteered for 2 years at a local animal shelter in Salem. However, as my responsibilities at work increase, I find myself unable to continue to volunteer year-round. I came to this site hoping to earn a little extra money during my downtime in the winter and get in some good snuggle time with some great dogs, as well as provide a valuable service to responsible pet owners. My goals as a walker and visitor are to give your dog warmth and connection while you are away, as well as exercise and fun!
