I am the owner of a Yorkie and a Dutch Shepherd. I love to take my dogs on long walks, its good exercise for them and a great stress release for me. A few months back, I started assisting a friend who boards dogs and cats. As a favor I agreed to help her out with walkIng the dogs on a temporary basis. It has now been more than eight months and I am still assisting. I have come to enjoy and look forward to seeing the animals and taking them on walks. Having the opportunity to assist my friend has exposed me to all different types of dogs even some with special needs. It has been rewarding and also a great learning experience. My availability is flexible depending on the distance.
