Dog walkers in Elyria, OH
Love dogs of all sizes! German shepherds, retrievers, Rottweilers and bigger dogs like Bernese mountain dogs and Danes are my favorite. Not deterred by any other breed either, open to any breed!
1-2 cats is preferable for me because I have a mild allergy, otherwise no issues with caring for any kind of cat either
