I love dogs and children/teens! Very outgoing and energetic so if your dog needs a lot of walking and playtime I've got you covered. My family's dog is very old and I have a soft spot for older pups who need some loving and care.

I've always loved animals, I mean who doesn't?
From a young age I've loved animals, I wanted to grow up to be a veterinarian and help animals. While that's not what my day job is, I can still help in a small way by helping you care for your loved pet.
