I love to walk dogs of all sizes! I have a lab/husky of my own, so I am more than comfortable with playful, large pups. I also have taken care of cats, fish, and other kinds of pets! I am athletic and friendly, plus I am a recent college graduate! I will be in Bethany for the summer and would love to be of help to anybody.
