I absolutely love and adore animals. If I could have one, I definitely would! I have lots of experience walking and caring for many people's pets in and out of their homes. I would love to take your pup for a walk or even run! Kitties are always perfect for petting and cuddling too. I hope to meet your furry friend soon!
