Dog walkers in Saco, ME
Summer greetings,
I love dogs - in fact, I'm a tiny bit of a dog whisperer. I most certainly would want your dog to be happy and comfortable in his/her home so my goal is of course to make that happen. I have grown up with dogs, and I currently have two cockapoos who are litter-mates.
I live in Beverly and I'm usually on care....
I have walked dogs from time to time, I can provide feeding, walking, and sitting services. I also have cats of my own and can provide feeding and sitting care as well. I hope to hear from you soon!
