I love to spend time outside in nature and with all the dogs in this world a hike/walk is not complete without a dog. Their positive attitude and endless energy is a wonderful recipe for a great adventure. I started getting paid 2 years ago but I have been spending time outside with animals all my life. I also work as a dog bather at a pet spa which gives me exposure to a large variety of dogs and cats. I have looked after low maintenance horses and chickens, as well as cats, snakes, and other small household pets
