I've been taking care of dogs & cats since 2005 when we got our first dog (a beagle, spaniel mix). Since then I have had the privilege of walking, feeding, playing with a couple of dogs in my life from pitbull mixes to my current dog, an American Akita mix. My very large family is also dog lovers, so I am constantly around different breeds of dogs and love them all. We've had cats all of my life too, including a litter of kittens at one point. So I am well versed in playing, feeding and taking care of them as well!
