I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10-years-old, so for 22 years! My belief is that pets are members of the family, and should always be treated that way. Friends and family have referred to me as the "dog-whisperer" because of the calming effect I have on the most hyper of dogs. I live in a house in South Fort Collins with my wife and 2 children (ages 8 and 4), with one on the way! One friendly dog and one friendly cat complete our family, and our house and yard are very pet-friendly. I am open to watching dogs of all sizes. For dog-sitting, our family does prefer dogs that are friendly with children and other animals, but this isn't necessarily a requirement for dog-walking.
