I like dogs, each day when my husband and I walk we encounter a dog and it's owner. I always stop to pet the dog; they know I care about them and so does their owner. I would just love to walk your dog and/or care of your pet by giving them the best care they require.

Hello! I'm a cat owner but an all animals lover. I love being outside, and taking doggos for a nice walk or sniff adventures is all I need for a good afternoon. I've owned Great Danes and a detroit special, a responsible poo picker upper no matter the size.
As far as cats go, I give the best chin scritches and butt pats.
