In my experience in caring for my own and friends' dogs, the first priority is to build trust. The best thing I have found is making sure the dog is both mentally and physically active, which involves taking them for long walks and lots of playtime. I pay careful attention to dogs with specific needs, and I'm experienced with timid and anxious dogs or ones who suffer from separation anxiety. I'm also familiar with potty training, pratice positive reinforcement, and follow strict dietary guildelines if need be. I'm available after 4:30 PM on weekdays for visits and dog walking. If can walk no more than two times during one walk. Will only housesit on weekends. Puppies and older dogs welcome. I accept small, medium, and large dogs.
