The Dog's Pajamas - Pet Sitter Kim in Richmond.jpg

WHY WE LOVE WORKING FOR TDP

“First, my visits are my way of relaxing and de-stressing from my work day. It’s at least 30 minutes a day I can spend not stressing about work, or what needs to be done at home. Second, it’s a great opportunity to love on other people’s pups!”
