Long time dog owner and lover. I have experience with dogs of different ages, temperaments and breeds. I understand that some dogs have special needs, whether they're timid, fearful or just quirky. My boxer Maddie was rescued from an abusive home and it took some serious patience to coax out her inner clown. My parent's pit-bull/lab (the Duke) is terrified of veneered hardwood floors, so all 65 pounds of him needs to be carried through certain rooms. Dogs have such distinct personalities and I'd be happy to meet and work with your little (or not so little) buddy. I'm an excellent communicator and will cheerfully send you texts or videos. My schedule is pretty open, and I'd be happy to socialize with and walk your baby while you're away.
