I'm now 56 yrs of age and as far back as I can remember - We always had a dog and it was always treated and considered as an equal member of the family - And at different times and in different places I've taken jobs at Pet Hospitals and Doggy Hotels - If you choose to leave your Dog with Me - Rest assured I will protect and care for your Family Member as I would my own - Have no apprehension or objections to administering medications or providing a certain type of special care if need be - (And I'm actually pretty good at doing this) My location is in the Pearl District with the Dog Park located only a couple of blocks away - My availability is very good and I will always make every effort to provide a safe - responsible - and a comfortable environment while your Dog is my care - Sincerely - John S
