When I say I have 12 years of experience with dogs, I'm not even counting my childhood of growing up with dogs! I believe one of the things that makes me so well suited for dog walking is the amount of training and care I've put in for the last 8 years with my dog. She has needed so much love, training, and patience and she's taught me so much. I also have quite a bit of dog sitting/walking/overnight stay experience. I work well with all different breeds of dogs and I work well with many different types of dog/cat owners. :)
