I feel like every pet I meet is someone's family member or best friend. I have a 16 week old Border Collie, so I clearly have patience and understanding of puppies' needs. I have had dogs most of my life (black lab, american standard bulldog, miniature schnauzer, and now a border collie). This is my only obligation, so I am available at a moment's notice. Also, I have a high tolerance for jumping, barking, nipping, etc., so no worries if you have a spunky pooch! My boyfriend may occasionally tag along on my walks, depending on the circumstance. He's training our puppy and is extraordinary with her. He would just be an extra set of hands, if needed. Thanks for trusting me with your fur-friend, and I look forward to meeting!
