I have been a pet sitter/dog walker for over 15 years now. I grew up with pets and have had some small ones of my own. I love to go for walks with dogs and I can also stay at your house for days or weeks at a time or board animals in my home. If I board dogs they need to be hypoallergenic. Can't wait to help you!!!
