Dog walkers in Rockford, MI
We used to have a 140lb golden retriever named Sammy & a 30lb pug named Oliver. They're both in heaven now. I would love to walk your beloved doggie or dogs & I can watch them in your place if needed. I'm not afraid of any dogs but I respect the power of Pit bulls & Dobermans & Rottweilers.
