I am a lifetime dog owner and dog lover! While my own dogs have been Mini Schnauzers, I have tons of experience caring for larger breeds like Goldens, Standard Poodles, and Rhodesian Ridgebacks. I've been casually dog-sitting for neighbors since I was about 16, then in college I drummed up a reputation among my professors as a great dog walker and sitter! I had this type of relationship with two professors in particular- I stayed at their houses to care for their dogs when they were out of town for a few days or just took their pups for a walk when they were teaching. I am super comfortable walking, playing with, and caring for all types dogs -- even doing the "dirty work" we know they require! The safety and happiness of your dog is my priority.
