I have had dogs (at least 2 at any given time) my entire life. I have experience caring for dogs ranging from puppyhood to elderly, 1 pound to 150 pounds, docile to hyperactive etc. I can handle them all! Honestly, sometimes/most of the time I believe dogs are better than people and I don't believe in stereotyping by breed. As a dog lover, I understand that leaving your dog alone can be nerve wracking but I'll try my best to love/care for them as much as you do! I can communicate fairly often via text (cute pictures of your dog coming up!) and am great at following instructions to the letter! Please let me know if you have any additional questions and I'd be happy to answer them!
