Hello, my name's Amanda, I've always owned a dog, I've had a Black Lab, 2 older rescues and I currently have a 1 yr old Australian Shepherd. I only go to school for a few ours a week and I'm open almost all the time. I do take my dog to the park l and for walks often. I have pet sit for family and cared for the neighbors dog when they are away. If your dog needs to let out all that built up energy I can get it out of them, no problem. With my Aussie I have been able to maintain a good regimen to make sure he will sleep the whole night thru and not worry about him waking up in the night.
