I personally own a rather large dog that I trained myself. I’ve been around dogs my whole life. While I have taken dog training classes I am not a certified trainer. If asked, I can provide a playmate- my dog loves making new friends. Or I can bring your dog to my place if it’s going to be a longer visit. love animals in general but I know the special bond between dog and owner. That means as far as I’m concerned, your dog is your baby and I will care for him/her the same I would a child I’m babysitting. I am very empathetic as well so if your pup is sick or having issues I am confident I will pick up on it and keep you informed. I’ve cared for all sizes.
