I grew up with dogs and cats and continued through adulthood. I own 2 small dogs, if you'd like, I can bring them around to socialize! If not, dont worry!, have 4 kitty cats too! I have a soft spot for animals so being around the makes me happy. I definitely know some good hiking places, there's a medium size crate in my 4 door car to tote a dog around to take to neat spots! We can always just walk around the neighborhood if you'd prefer. I have free time and would love to get your dog out of the house while your busy. I can also stop by and tell your pet(s)funny stories, give them treats, snuggle and dance around with them! My schedule is mainly available as I'm getting a business started. I've got a new fit bit and looking forward to racking up my steps with your pup!
