Hi! I'm Landry and I currently reside in Pittsburg, CA. I've walked and taken care of many dogs in my 19 years and even have a sweet but energetic Alaskan Malamute myself. Although I don't have any professional experience with animals, I'm currently studying in order to become a veterinarian in my near future and by walking some furry friends I hope to gain experience! I can't wait to meet your best friend!
