I am also comfortable caring for cats and cleaning litterboxes, and other miscellaneous household tasks like watering plants, feeding fish, bringing in mail, etc. I am comfortable walking dogs of almost any size -- I myself am only about 120 pounds, so XL dogs must be well-mannered on the leash, for both of our safety. I have basic knowledge of dog training methods and equipment -- I will gladly adhere to whatever training commands, routines and protocols you already have in place for your dog. Consistency is important, even while you are away! Because I have no formal training or experience as a trainer or behaviorist, I am not comfortable working with dogs with behavioral problems that could threaten either of our safety. (e.x. an XL dog with an uncontrollable jumping problem would be a bad fit for me).
