I have two well trained dogs and a cat. I love to walk and take my dogs for long walks at the park and at the beach daily. I am happy to look after your animals, including chickens as I used to have a coop. I can play with your animals and look after them so that they do not miss you while you are working or on vacation.

I have had pets my entire life, both cats and dogs. Pets seem to sense that I am a safe and caring person. I prefer a pet that is leash trained if walking is part of my assignment. Love giving belly rubs and playing, as well as nuzzling up with each other for a quiet rest time.
