Hi! My name is Ellen and I'm from Brazil! My first experience with dogs came from taking care of my own puppy. His name is Bento and he's a 10-year-old pit bull/lab mix. I did everything for him - from bathing him in the shower to cooking him homemade meals, and obviously, walking, playing and running with him. My mom takes care of him now that I'm living here. Since I have moved to the US, I have taken care of my friend's dogs when they were traveling. I also lived with a host family for two years and cared for their great pyrenees every day. My husband and I have a 13-year-old border collie/Aussie shepherd, named Harvey and I can't wait for the day he meets his stepbrother, Bento. I love dogs and caring for them makes me feel closer to my own puppy back home. I up for taking long and short walks with your pet, go to dog parks or just play around in the yard with them. I can also hangout with them at your house and keep them company or feed them whenever you need someone. I hope to hear from you soon, Ellen.
