I've been a dog owner since 2019 (and throughout my childhood) and have years of experience keeping fish in a planted aquarium. I dog/cat sat and walked dogs in college and am looking to get back into it!
I work a 9-5 from home M/W/TH/F, so if you live close by I could help with mid-day walks. I'm also available on weekends.
