I've never had a dog of my own, so this is a way for me to feel connected to a pup and still do good for other people! Now don't get that confused with my 3 years experience caring for dogs. I've had significant others that had dogs where I was the primary caregiver. It takes me little time to start bonding and recognize the signs of how your dog communicates. Things like wanting to play, wanting to walk, needing to potty, can all be communicated through your dog. I work to do things right, so trust in me that I'll care for "Fido" like he's my family. I look forward to understanding your dogs personality and getting to know you, and your little family!
