I started when I was about 8 yrs old when I lived in California when I had 1 dog and 2 ducks. I took care of neighbors dogs and loved it! I am now 23 with a chihuahua dog mix and hoping to start taking care of dogs again! My availability is pretty open on weekends, and mornings and evenings are better for drop ins! I speak both English and Spanish (I might speak to your dog in Spanish). I’m also trying to exercise and get outside more so going out for a walk or to the park is something I think both your dog and I will love it! I’m a bit on the small side but don’t worry I have handled dogs twice my size!
