I have had three dogs every year of my life that I can remember and they have been big dogs and they were a part of my family. Most of my experience is with Labrador Retrievers, but I also have experience caring for cats and rabbits as well. Honestly. I have never met an animal who doesn't like me or an animal that I don't like. Your animals will be loved by me and I will treat them like my own animals when they are under my care. If your dog wants to spend hours playing fetch, I will accommodate that. If you usually take your dog with you when you go running, I can do that too. If you have a good tempered dog that loves humans, then I'm the sitter for you. I live on an upper level of a house so your dog will have to be able to do stairs. :)
