Dog sitters in Damascus, MD
I've had dogs all of my life. My dogs are just like my children. I love them to pieces. I have also had a cat during my college years. I'm also very familiar with exotic pets as my two sons always had some sort of pet including Bearded dragons, water dragons, several types of snakes, guinea pigs, turtles.... the list goes on. ....
Quality gentle care for your special pet. Cared for Golden Retrievers and Yellow Labradors primarily. Will care for small dogs also.
