I grew up with (big) dogs, starting teaching them tricks when I was 10 years old, and am still surrounded by dogs at my main job (I work for a horse trainer). I LOVE animals and nature, and I have house- and pet sitted several times and can provide excellent references. Feeding, grooming, exercising - I love doing it all! I am strict with dogs and animals of all sorts and will make them behave while still being "fun", and definitely like to pet, play and cuddle and make them feel loved ;) I have experience with both small and large dogs, seniors and puppies, I am not shy and not scared of big dogs. Plus, I am a very fit and active person and like to take dogs on long walks.
