I have owned and cared for dogs since I had my first labrador ( Ringo ) when I was 10. I have primarily had big dogs, but have a particular love of pitbulls. I have walked shelter dogs since 1996 ( SPCA, South Africa ) as a volunteer. Since emigrating to the USA in 2006, I have walked dogs as a volunteer at the Indianapolis Humane Society ( 2006 to 2013 ) and at our Lil Bit Of Heaven ( Indiana ), 2008 to 2013. Since relocating to Georgia, I have been a rescue walker at the Forsyth County Humane Society ( 2014 to 2017 and current) and a volunteer at Save The Horses ( 2016 to 2017 and current ). My time is flexible, usually from around 9am until around 3 pm, as I have my own business. I just happen to love animals, and feel a great responsibility for their welfare. My skills are simple. I enjoy relating to the dog, letting the dog trust me on its own instincts. I enjoy the actual playing a lot, and talking to the dog. I listen very carefully to what the owner has to say, and the various stipulations. I can be relied on completely regarding punctuality and the actual visit, and to return calls etc
