I owned a dog for almost 18 years and took care of him from the time he was a puppy into his very senior years. I have experience training dogs as well as dog sitting, walking and boarding dogs. I love animals of all kinds and have experience with cats as wel as birds. I have always had a good connection with animals and they tend to immediately trust me as well as listen to my commands. I am 6'4" so large dogs of any size are no problem for me. One of my best friends has a St Bernard who I take care of on occaision. I will love and care for your dog (or animals) as if they are my own. Hope to have fun with your pet soon.
