BigFoot Walking

Big Foot Walking is the ONLY provider with whom I will leave my Shadow, a 6-year-old Lab mix. Shadow literally runs to gate and he loves the family, the big yard, and the loving, personal attention. He comes home tired and well-exercised, and I never worry about his safety. Highly recommend!!
