I've grown up around dogs (two Germans shepherds and a golden retriever). I have experience pet sitting and I have also volunteered in an animal shelter. I'm comfortable around all dogs, big or small. I have experience using different types of collars, leashes and couplers, and harnesses. I have experience around high energy dogs and will be able to provide sufficient exercise. I also have some experience working around cats if you happen to need help with them as well.
