Dog walkers in Vista, CA
I grew up in a home with dogs and have always loved them. I have taken care of my brother's dogs-feeding, walking, etc. over the years, so I am comfortable with them!
I like working with animals because in my career I work with people all day everyday and it's nice to get outside and walk or cuddle up with a pup!
