Pet care experience

I've been caring for dogs for the last 10 years. I began by walking dogs in my neighborhoods, and the families/ animals enjoyed it so much that I began doing overnight stays when families were out of town. My background is in education (I'm a full time teacher for Miami-Dade), but with summers off, I'd love to spend them with animals. Growing up, we always had dogs (Frenchies, pugs, Beabulls, poodles, and even a Rottweiler & Pit-bull). During all four years of college I fostered dogs. The organization I worked with saved them from high kill shelters and placed them in loving homes. Through this experience, I learned that it is just as fulfilling to care for an animal as it is to have your own. I hope to get to know you, your pup, and give it the best experience possible when you're attending to your hectic schedule.

Information Despina A. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences, but I would like to know a bit about the dogs personality. Do they get along with other dogs on walks? Are they friendly, or aggressive? Are they vocal? What do they like to do?

A typical day

Long walks if he/she likes (I'm very active), as well as brushing/grooming. Playing fetch or with other toys, or even just lounging on the couch! Whatever your fur baby likes to do, I'm open to it!
