I have had 4 very different dogs over 30+ yrs and really enjoyed having them in my life. I loved and trained each one through various stages and challenges of dog life. My current dog is approaching a year old. Recently retired, I finally have free time to devote to animals. I love to take walks and would love nothing more than to help working owners with walking and/or playing with their dog(s). I always felt bad for my dog's long days alone when I worked fulltime. I feel there would be less dogs in shelters if people had more time to give their pets the exercise they need to be happy and healthy. This opportunity would be a win-win for both me and a lucky dog!
