I had dogs most of my life, from a kid and continuing now. I am a caring, friendly person that loves dogs as well as taking care of them. I currently have a boxer that has beautiful markings and is very loving. I am very experienced in feeding, walking, playing, bonding, with dogs as well as taking the dog to the vet. I do agree that dogs do need companionship when the owners are away, that is why I wanted to sign up for this service when I read about it, the site looked like a perfect fit for my love of dogs and their needs. Also I love when the news or other programs show dogs visiting nursing homes and older people that can not get out a lot, and the joy they get from the dogs.
