Years of doggie experience! I have had five wonderful companions in life; my last little buddy was with us for 17 years; loved him every minute. I have also walked dogs at the humane society and realize that each dog is individual in their needs, their abilities, their wants, and attitudes. Much as the humans they interact with! I would be honored to have your companion in my care. I am very patient and sensitive to the unspoken word and know that I would give the very best of care while you are away for a day, an hour, or for a longer period of time. I would need to know of your dogs behavior and scheduling habits so that I can come close to the same.
