I've had dogs for a big part of my life. I took a CPR & first aid course so I could be better prepared, so you can feel safe with me watching your precious dog. I think its hard not to love dogs, when they're so loving, in return! They can make any day a good one! Besides owning dogs, I've watched them for relatives who've traveled, but didn't want to use a kennel. They knew their dogs would get happily spoiled with me, and that I'd treat them the same as any other member of my family. And of course I'd treat a stranger's dog the same way! I'm smiling just thinking about it! I know how important love, kindness, and companionship is to everyone, including dogs. And I also know the importance of exercise, for dogs as well as humans!
