I've had an affinity for dogs my whole life, and they've always shown me affection as well. I enjoy all dog types. If your dog needs a peaceful person to cuddle with or play with while you're away I'm perfect. I've enjoyed a variety breeds and temperaments of dogs in my life. I started caring for my neighbors' dogs when I was 5yrs old, and had my first overnight boarder when I was 9yrs old. Since then, I've owned various breeds from 2 comical little Boston Terrier girls to an English Sheepdog/Australian Sheepdog mix (not a photogenic dog at all, but a serious family protector). I also had a beautiful hunting yellow lab who lived 18yrs, sweetest dog at home and super professional in the field. I believe I can connect with most dogs and will put them at ease while you're away.
