I do not ever remember not having a dog (or dogs) in my house growing up. I currently have one miniature beagle (15 pounds) who is my whole world! He's very friendly and stays up to date on all shots and vet visits. We enjoy long walks, lots of fetch, and snuggly naps on the couch every day! Although I am a small dog mom, I am comfortable around dogs of all breeds and sizes. For pet sitting, I have chosen to only allow small dogs for the safety of my own pet but would be willing to change my mind on depending on the temperament of your bigger dog! I would love to come take care of all dogs of any shape and size!!
