I've been taking care of an 15 year old Boston Terrier for over a year now. Besides all the basic pet care, I apply ointment to his eyes when he needs it and take care of the owner's apartment and cat. I am fully available to walk, board or have dogs in day care. They are welcome on the furniture! I'm the kind of person who runs over to the dog anytime I've over a friend's place or at a party and doesn't leave the dog alone until they are tired of me. They usually don't get tired of me and I end up spoiling them with belly rubs. I can usually turn a shy or scared dog over to my side with patient and attentive care.
