I had two dogs - a Golden Retriever 12.5 and a Corgi mix 17 - whom I have lost. I am happy to walk dogs, clean up after them, play with them, brush and wash them. I have had dogs all of my life. I regularly dog- and cat-sit for day-long and weekend events. My home and car are open to furry friends. I I have attended numerous dog training courses and am very good at managing dogs and training puppies. I worked at a retail store and was responsible for the pet department which included fish, rodents and birds. I have owned fish as well as gerbils/hamsters and guinea pigs. I am comfortable with cats although I have not been owned by any! I'm a non-smoker and don't use drugs (vape or smoke).
