I have experience with my own pets (dogs) and enjoy playing and taking care of them. Dogs happen to be my favorite animal and I love all breeds. If your dog needs to be walked/watched/fed/played with, or if you need a babysitter who can care for your pets as well, I would be more than happy to do so.
