I love dogs and cats more than most people you will meet. It gives me just as much joy as them to walk them, play with them, and take care of them in any way. I live in Lakeview Chicago and enjoy walking to the parks and spending time outside. I have dog walking, dog sitting, and cat sitting experience.
