I've been surrounded by dogs since I was born and I feel very comfortable around them. I've had two dogs of my own (a Poodle mix and a Shih Tzu). I'm familiar with most of dog's needs and routines. My last care-taking experience included a German Shepherd, an Anatolian Shepherd, a Labrador, a Border Collie, two Dachshunds, and two cats... at the same time! All the dogs lived in a farm and worked with farm animals. I'd be happy to provide a reference from my last experience; it was extremely rewarding and instructive. I'm very organized, clean, and I like to keep things peaceful yet fun for every dog. I can assure you I'll take care of your pet as if it was my own!
