Pet care experience

I have had large to small dogs most of my life. I have the available time to help others with there pet needs such as walking and sitting. During the summer months walks are at the local dog parks. Don't forget pavement can be dangerous. I am currently disabled and looking to enjoy my spare time. I take my own 2 chihuahuas on daily outings. Spoiled is a understatement. Let me be your fur babies uncle I have a home with 2 fenced yard spaces and also a dog door for there use, also I go out with them often. If needed I can separate the yard spaces if necessary for specific needs. But I keep them inside for the most part

Hans had another lovely weekend with Matthew. The photos they sent proved it, and rambunctious Hans came home tired and happy.
