I've had dogs my whole life, from border collies to boxers I've had experience with most kinds of dogs growing up alone. I love any and every kind of dog and will do anything I can to make them as happy as possible while you're away! I have no problem with the "gross stuff" i.e. If your dog is sick or goes #2 on a walk, I will happily tend to the mess. as for all the fun things like playing with and running around with them, that's simply a bonus. This is a dream job and there's no extent I won't go to to make sure your furry friend is cared for and treated as well as humanly possible. Thank you so very much!
