Hi there! My name is Frank and I am excited to meet your canine companion! I grew up with dogs my entire life, and my parents maintained high expectations of their care, which I fulfilled. I really enjoyed my time with each of them -- both at play and when it came to simple affection. I find that I have an ability to bond with dogs rather quickly, and I cherish those bonds, and will seek to create just that with your beloved friend. I am well-versed in bathing dogs -- all sizes are fine with me. I am able to run with your dog as well, if you would like him/her to get the extra exercise. I am able to work on obedience commands with your dog as well if you would like me to do so. I am happy to stay for the extended time if you wish, as well. I am unable to have a dog in my home at this time in my life, but I am readily able and willing to stay in your home to ensure your friend is as comfortable as can be without you there.
