I have grown up with dogs and currently have a 2-year-old goldendoodle that I have raised and trained into the most loving pup! I have an hour lunch break each day during my full time job from 11-12 that allows me to come walk pups or let them out! I am also available for dog walking anytime after 4:30 on weekdays!
