About: My family raised dogs growing up. I later adopted many discarded rescues until they passed away. I know how to bathe, feed, treat, talk and walk any breed. I'm also available to stay over nights with your pets. I'm a real estate paralegal and work from home. It's never a problem to take an extended break or lunch to provide your pet with first class care. I can walk your pets, stay over night with them, water & feed, bathe them, brush their teeth and clean their ears. You just let me know how you want them to be cared for! I've recently watched a pit bull, German Shepard, and Bullmastiff along with two cats on separate occasions.
