I can groom most breeds, enjoy giving dogs attention, and have been told I have a way with animals. I originally grew up on a farm in East Texas and have been raising baby calves, horses, dogs, chickens, and other animals from a very young age. I can run with your dog, or give it a gentler walk. I also have access to other dog people if they like to socialize. I am a filmmaker and spend alot of time editing on a laptop, so when I house sit I stay with the dogs and give them alot of attention if they are needy. In NYC I have dog sat for many people and have references. I've cared for older dogs in poor health as well.
