I have been around dogs of all breeds my entire life. Aside from caring for my own dogs in the past, I have a lot of experience caring for other's dogs. Due to the amount of time I travel, I unfortunately am unable to own a dog at this time. I care for my friend's and family's dogs often to fill the void of not having my own. I am an early riser and available to walk dogs in the early morning hours that many people do not want to get up for. I am also a runner and love to bring dogs that are able to keep up along with me on my runs. I am patient, yet authoritative, which are two key traits in caring for unpredictable or uncooperative pets. I have experience with every breed from yorkies to labs to pits to goldens. I have a lot of extra space in my home, perfect for accommodating your dog. I also have a big fenced backyard, half pavement and half grass! Most importantly, I care deeply for dogs and animals of all kind. It would give me great joy to assist in keeping your dog happy and healthy.
