Dog walkers in Ayer, MA
I joined a dog walking company as a temporary job that was supposed to be only a month but stayed for 4 years. I was a dog walker and daycare attendant, then worked my way up to be the daycare manager. I truly love dogs and want to provide the best care they deserve while you're away/at work :)
