Dog walkers in Rutland, MA
I absolutely love pets, especially dogs. I actually have one of my own now, named Tobias.. I walk him everyday, I also let him go in the backyard and run around as I throw the ball to him for some exercise. I always play with him and give him the attention he needs. I am very flexible, I do have my own transportation also.
