Hi! I've had dogs & many other pets since birth. I've cared for dogs, cats, parrots, rodents, chickens, horses and a chameleon, so I'm very prepared to handle any situation a pet throws my way. I love my own dog to death; she's a pit/great Dane Mix with spotted ears. And I fall in love with new dogs very easily, so your dog and I will probably be best friends very soon :) I really can't imagine a life without pets, even with the constant vacuuming. I am a student at Cal, so my schedule is flexible and I have my own car (that I don't mind dogs riding in). I'm also very detail oriented and focused on cleanliness and keeping things tidy, so your house will always be exactly how you left it. Thanks!
