Hi I'm Elli! I grew up with two dogs at home. One 22lb Cava-poo and one 55lb very temperamental labradoddle. I love them both so much, even the moody doddle. I am also cautious with other dogs around your dog as I know from experience with my doodle. I also have what my friends joke as “Monica Geller” Type A-ness, I will always be super attentive to your dogs needs during walks, their temperament and any changes in it, where they are walking (puddles, city grates etc.). I am currently in NYC, however when I lived in Chicago I regularly dog/house sat from my coworkers pup, Mr Bear. And i still get updates from him since leaving Chicago! I think love & patience is important for all dogs. We have to remember they have feelings too and be in tune with their wants and needs - do they want us to pay attention to them or do they just want space? I like to really pay attention to this, as Chase, my labradoodle as taught me to listen to what she's trying to tell me. I love walking and sitting dogs since I now live so far from mine and cannot afford to have one in NYC but hope to one day save up for a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel 😍
