IMPORTANT: I work a full time job during the day. If your pets need to be taken out in the middle of the day, or can't be left alone for long periods of time, I'm not for you! But thank you for considering me. I've lived with dogs for most of my life. Growing up we had a chocolate lab-pitbull mix named Ringo. He was about 80 lbs, and often barked at men and bicycles. I was a small 7 year old at the time, so at first I was terrified. But through the years Ringo taught me a ton about controlling strong, high-energy dogs, and showed me all of the love that these animals are able to share with us! Now my family has a pitbull-mix dog named Elvis. He is a rescue, and so has terrible social skills with other dogs. He's taught me how to be very cautious around other dogs, including avoiding social interactions all together. I also have experience taking care of my grandparents yellow-named amazon parrot, and a house-roaming gray/red parrot of some friends. Finally I know how insane puppies are, but I would love to take care of yours! I have experience with puppies. My skills include loving and caring about your dog unconditionally, patiently training animals, and finding new activities for your dog so he doesn't get bored. I like being outside, so I would love to take your dog to the dog park or on a nice hike, IF you would like.
