I've had dogs for most of my life, 2 golden retrievers. I've taken care of a couple neighbor's pets before, never had any issues. I love big dogs especially, and I'm comfortable around all sizes, whether they're playful or shy. I have reliable transportation and I'm available any day or time (as long as I don't have an appointment already). One of my favorite things to do is send photos of the dog(s) to the owner(s) while I'm taking care of them, so they can see how they're doing each day and they know I haven't forgotten them. I like to come by a few days ahead of time if possible to meet the dogs before the owners leave so they're more used to me while they're by themselves. I'm very flexible in almost all regards, so don't hesitate to ask if your pet has special requirements/needs you'd like me to know about.
