I grew up with small dogs and cats and had larger dogs starting in college. Everyone in family has dogs and cats (basically my parents have a lot of furry grandkids :). My husband and I have a crazy mutt and his bully cousin visits often so there isn’t much that surprises me when it comes to doggie personalities! I can't imagine not having a dog/cat in the house. They absolutely light up your day when you walk in the door and add so much joy to your life. I want to be able to help someone else have that feeling by helping care for their pet while they are away. I have cared for family members dogs in my house when they go out of town. I am comfortable with giving pets medicine, different types of foods and any other needs they may have. I go in to clients homes and walk/feed their dogs/cats for them. I have a full time job during the week that has some flexibility so this isn't a job for me but something that I love to do. I will love your dog as if they were my own.
