I have had animals all my life and adore being around them. I am very comfortable around large dogs, or any dogs, and cats. I would love your animal as if it was my own and give it the very best care! I am willing to come to your home to play, walk, feed, pick up waste, or even just to spend some time with your pet.
I have grown up with german shepherds, a labrador retriever, a miniature labradoodle, and multiple cats. I have a high energy border collie of my own.
Services provided: feeding, waste clean up, walking, playing ball
