What started out as 2 dogs from the age of 9 to 12+ doggos, it safe to say that I have experience with these wonderful creature even though sometimes they make me sneeze (I grew up with Samoyeds). Be it dog sitting or dog walking, I'm happy to be of service especially if they are not aggressive and are easy to approach.
I take cleanliness very seriously, to a fault. If you don't have certain cleaning supplies, you need not worry as I have mine.
I will strive to leave your home in a comfy unforgettable state!
