I had a German Shepard mix of 13.5 years old who recently passed and who I love very much. She was professionally trained as a puppy and I still use tricks I learned there. I have a new German Shepard mix who is 5 months old. I am able to prepare meals and administer medications as well. I love enjoying the outdoors with a dog in my company. I often dog sit for the neighbors' dogs while they are out of town, up to 3 dogs at a time. I am in nursing school and unable to work a traditional work week so I would love to help you out by caring for your dog. I enjoy their company as much as they will enjoy mine!
