I raised two dogs and small pets in my adult life and grew up with dogs as a child. We currently have a guinea pig named Lefty. However, dogs were always a huge part of our family and I know how important it is to find that right person to care for them. I respect each owner's wishes for their dog as an active member of your family, not just a pet. Please let me know ahead of time anything your dog does not like as it is important for them to get to know me and develop a trusting relationship. Most of my customers just give me a list of where food is kept, how much to feed them, area to walk if needed, vitamins and/or any medications schedules and any other helpful information your loving family member needs.
