My devotion to my client's fur babies ( Dogs) through taking them on daily exercise excursions: beaches; trails, etc. My value added service comes from my heart and experience in caring for "my" cat & dogs (pets). I don't just sit them, I run and play with them and they are with me the majority of the time during my stay.
