I've been around a variety of animals my whole life; from dogs & cats, to pygmy goats & rabbits. I'm comfortable with taking the time to let an animal get comfortable with me. My wife & I have 3 dogs of our own, and outside the home I've worked for a couple of rescues as a foster, and I've done pet sitting & walks for several family members/friends. I've also had a few special needs pets in my home, as well as elderly dogs, and I understand the time and extra attention that is needed to make them comfortable & at ease. My wife and I have owned and/or fostered everything from Chihuahua's to Dane, so I'm comfortable around just about any size dog.Thank you.
