I started watching dogs when I took over the 'family business' when I was 10 years. 15 years later, I am still in contact with some of those first clients (even throughout the dog years)! My family business became my lifelong side hustle, sustained by passion for the pets. My experience includes: - Watched 100+ dogs ranging in ages, breeds, and length of time (anywhere form a few days to a few weeks). - Experience with small (Yorkie) to large (German Shepard) size dogs. - Fostered and worked with adopted dogs, with unknown histories. - Understand dogs queue, sensitives and quirks. - Raised a liter of 8 Cocker Spaniels puppies. - Upheld training practices and followed rules of their parents. - Experience with snakes, fish, and birds! - Gave love and kind home to my own dogs (Sammie, Lucy, Bailey, Mickey, Lovey). I'd love to take care of your dogs while you are out of town or just out for the evening! The exercise would be good for the both of us :)
