I love to play outdoors ... it keeps me active and young. I can give your pet(s) my undivided attention. I think dogs and cats are great companions ... dogs are especially great if you want a vigorous walk or run. I have owned pets-- well, my son owned them, but I took care of them! I've also done some pet sitting for friends and co-workers. I am very responsible and dependable and would enjoy taking care of your pets.
