I've house trained both male & femaie dogs of various ages and breeds. I've taken care of dogs who have had seizures, back surgery and 2 of my own dogs have had both knees replaced or repaired. I've given medications, cleaned ears, brushed, walked, and trained dogs. I enjoy it all !! I've house sat and cared for multiple dogs at one time. I know how hard it is to get away but have to leave your dog somewhere. I have volunteered at the local humane society for several years.
