I have owned two Labrador Retrievers. My current one is 13. She is walked and loved daily. I have taken care of various types of breeds of dogs for friends in the last 30 years. On first meet most dogs and cats are drawn to me. Always enjoy petting and itching pets where they like it. I'm tall, so in a 30 minute walk we will cover a long distance, which is great for tiring your pet out. I have also owned and taken care of friend's cats. I'm a teacher, so in the next couple months, I will have a lot of flexibility. I'm calm, sensitive to your pet's needs, consistent, reliable, alert, aware, adaptable, a good communicator, in good physical shape, accountable, and thorough.
