Have always had dogs growing up, love their company and playfulness. Have dog sit for family and friends many times and never minded doing it. I currently have a puppy under 1 year old, approx. 8-10 mos., she is a border collie mix and am currently getting her used to socializing with new dogs. I can assure you I will show your pet the same love I show mine. I have never met a stranger or a dog that i didn't like. I work for the United States Public Health Service, so caring for others comes naturally. i am receiving training for dog injected vaccinations this month 05/2016, so will have some experience with shots, soon. I am easy to get a hold of and flexible.
