I am a dog lover with the most experience with large breeds. I am happy to run and play with your pet if that is what they need, but I also understand that each dog is different in temperament, age, and other factors, and each needs a different type of care in order to be happy and healthy. Most of all, I want to hear and follow your rules and guidelines for the care of your pet. If your dog only eats a certain type of food and no treats, I will respect those guidelines when caring for your pet. If your dog isn’t supposed to be out, or isn’t supposed to come in, or isn’t allowed on the furniture, I’ll follow the same guidelines you do. Though I have had and love larger dogs, I am happy to care for pets of all sizes and shapes, including reptiles, amphibians, birds, etc. I have worked in outdoor education and handled/fed all sorts of critters. If you have a long-haired cat, I can still come by to feed and spend time with the animals, but will likely not be able to spend the night at the house.
