I have happily taken care of friends & neighbors dogs for many years and they have always told me I had a way with animals and should be doing this professionally. I have now found myself in the position where my schedule can revolve around the care & needs of the animals, which has always been my passion. As a retired person, in good health, energy, and with a flexible life style, I am enthusiastic to help others with the care of their pets. I have cats & a small breed dog of my own, so I understand the hardship of working and wanting your beloveds well taken care of at the same time. Another plus is that my backyard is fenced in and the neighborhood is ideal for dog walking. I also have a swimming pool that is fenced in, so if your dog likes to swim, they are welcome to do so.
