I owned (and adored) my black lab for 16 years. I have been a volunteer dog-walker at an animal shelter for 6 months. Every dog is a gift. Each dog offers his or her own precious personality for companionship, care, exercise and fun. Dogs miss their owners so I try to give them the kind of experience I would want my dog to have if I needed to be away from her. My home is dog friendly and located close to a large park. I mostly work from home. I will treat your precious dog as if s/he were my own with kindness, affection, gentleness, positive reinforcement and with understanding that he/she is doing the best he/she can in the new environment. I love dogs!
