I have always loved dogs especially the bigger ones! I started pet sitting and walking dogs in high school and then worked at a pitbull rescue in Florida for a few years. I have successfully trained dogs basic commands (walk on leash, sit, come , stay) and to be off leash. Contact me with any questions!
