I've dogsat senior dogs (two of them with moderate hip problems), helped in the training process for puppies (whippets, labs, chihuahua mix, various mix breeds), and have boarded kittens and puppies together. Different dogs have different needs! Some of these variances include diet and dietary restrictions, feeding schedule, amount of times needed to go outside, types of play, assisting in getting up and down stairs (I can carry a German Shepherd if needed!), and so forth. My goal is to learn best from the owners/parents of these pups what they need and how to make them feel most at ease an loved. While I can easily determine the basic needs of dogs, I really value having a connection with the owners so that their dogs can be comfortable, healthy, and have fun.
