My own family has owned smaller, high-energy dogs for years (Papillons, Chihuahuas, and Bichons), but I love interacting with all dog breeds. It is so sweet to see the individual personalities of different dog emerge as you spend more time with them. I am an empathetic graduate student in the area who is looking forward to spending some quality time loving on, caring for, and playing with your pet. I believe your pet knows when the person taking care of him/her has a genuine love for animals, and it is that foundation that is crucial in building trust. I want to be there to see your pet's needs and respond to them accordingly, so that both you and your pet will find me to be both caring and trustworthy.
