I have taken care of a golden retriever puppy for about 4-5 months. I also had a dog for about 2 and a half years. I am allergic to cats so am only able to help with dogs. I also would feed and let out a few of my neighbors dogs numerous times while they were on vacation. I would love to walk your dog!
