I've had a love for dogs my whole life and grew up with at least 2 dogs around the house at all times. My family fostered dogs when I was growing up and I volunteered at a local animal shelter, so I have experience with a wide range of breeds and personalities. I'm a recent college grad and can't afford to have a dog of my own yet, so I would love to share my love and compassion for animals with your dog!
"Good guy, helped answer my questions since it was my dogs first Wag walk. Tired her out real fast. "
