I've worked at a vet clinic during college and had experience with all types of dogs/cats. I've lived with dogs since I was 5 years old and have always had perfectly trained environments. My dog Cleveland is as friendly as could be. He gets along with all ages and sizes of dogs. If your animal has special needs, those can easily be taken care of. I will empathize with your animal and make sure they feel comfortable while you are gone. I take Cleveland on many walks and will gladly take your dog along if it is an overnight stay. My roommate is also home during the day for potty breaks. Our backyard is large enough for playtime as well! You're in good hands! :)
