I grew up with two australian-german shepherd mixes, Charlie and Sammie and frequently walked my neighbor's dogs or took care of them while their owners were away. I always found it something to look forward to. Currently, I'm a college student who can't afford to have my own animal friends around, so, it's always a treat to interact with animals when I can. I just love them. I'm sure you understand. They are endlessly interesting to me with their varying personalities and that very much includes dogs. I also happen to live near Sewell Park and Purgatory Creek in San Marcos, so, if you're interested, I can try to get them out in nature as well (I think they'd be interested too)! Anyway, I've always just seemed to have a certain connection with animals. I think that they sense when someone is caring and has good intentions over someone who doesn't have their best interests at heart. Dogs deserve just as much respect and love as any other creature on the planet and I am positive I can fulfill your dog's walking and playing needs! Additionally, I would be potentially open to weekend trips up to Austin if you and your pooch live up there. Have a lovely day!
