I have always had animals and love and care about them. Dogs, cats, Komodo dragons etc. I love to cuddle and play with them and most dogs are drawn to me. I have the skill of having a dog all my life and being able to recognize their needs . I enjoy the outdoors so long walks are no problem for me, if desired. I am respectful of the dog owners requests for care rather than “doing it my way .” I am flexible and willing to help on short notice and/or in an emergency. The most important thing is that I have the time and patience to allow your dog to feel safe loved and cared for when you ant be there for him/her.
