Well first of all I am a dog mommy of a husky, I have had my baby for almost 2 years since she was a puppy of 9 weeks so I know how to also take care of puppies or dogs of varying size. So if they make a mess or poop, I am okay with cleaning up the mess, I am use to that considering that I have also babysat my friends small dog and mainly walked the dog, when my friend has been away for the day. I can really work with mornings or early afternoons so I can assure you that your dog will be in good hands and will be treated like my baby or friends doggy with lots of love and patience.
