I have several years of professional experience sitting and handling dogs as a former dog walker and a background in Veterinary Technology. Owners have trusted me with their dogs of all sizes and temperaments- from Chihuahuas that want to rule the roost, to a Great Dane/Mastiff mix that thought she was a lap dog! I have no problem with intricate feeding rituals and can handle multiple dogs at home. I have also studied canine massage therapy, but truth be told I am hopeful your dog would enjoy a good cuddle on the couch more than a rigorous spa treatment. We live in Brooklyn two blocks from Prospect Park, and frequently travel with our Chiweenie Mango, to the Catskills, where there is a big hill leading to an open field for dogs that are into that hiking kind of life. In the city or in the country, your dog can have the best of both worlds.
