Hello everyone. I grew up with many pets and have always had a special love for dogs. I have walked dogs before with a friend who was dog sitting. When walking, I would use bags for waste and give treats. If time permits, I would also take them to the dog park to play with other dogs, if that is something your pet wants to do.
