Information Alex D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors to account for. A meet and greet to start is preferred to see if it is a good match.

A typical day

I love to give dogs an opportunity to exercise their body and their mind. I believe dogs need to be able to stretch their legs as well as the time to smell different scents.

Pet care experience

I have experience with dogs since I was five and a puppy first joined my family. As I grew older, four other dogs of various breeds entered my family. Since then I have helped foster dogs and walk dogs of all ages and sizes at shelters.
