Dog walkers in Palos Heights, IL
I have had dogs all my life. They truly are part of the family. I have taken them for walks, to the veterinarian, and groomer. Any dog that I have the privilege of taking care of we have formed a special bond. I will truly love and take care of your pet as if they were my own.
