I'm a proud step mom to Willow, my boyfriend's English Springer, taking good care of her over the last 2 years, from walks, playtime and feeding to groomer visits and even treating for fleas. I've also watched friends' dogs when they've gone out of town, or even while I was cleaning houses. Personally, I've owned birds in the past. I'm very respectful of and strict with following the boundaries owners provide, so no need to retrain your pup when you return. My top priority is to maintain and care for the safety and happiness of all animals.
