Dog walkers in San Jose, CA
I've had dogs in my life as long as I can remember. My last dog, Kuma, an Akita, passed last year. I take my senior clients' dogs out on walks now.
I also make wholesome, natural dog food and treats for all my fur babies.
I've had Akitas, Black Labs, Border Collies, Corgies, German Shepards, and Huskies. No dog is too much.
