I have been responsible for dogs of friends and family quite a few times now and I have never had any problems! I've even house sat and took care of chickens on a farm once! Growing up around dogs and other animals has given me the ability to feel at ease around dogs of all sizes and enjoy their company. I have a routine for my cat so following an owner's guideline for their pet is not a problem at all. I have one cat that has grown up around other pets, including dogs, for most of her early life. I'm available all day on Tuesdays and Thursdays and after 3:30pm Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. As far as transportation goes I have no problem driving your dog to whatever destination in may need to go! -Kara :)
