I've grown up with dogs, and currently have two of my own. I know the good and bad when it comes to taking care of dogs-- the clean ups, the chewed shoes, but also the wet kisses and loyalty. I know what to look for in a healthy/happy dog, and I've been in customer service for years in my various lines of work. While I limit myself to walking and house checks, it is only because my house is already filled to capacity with doggie love and care.
