I have a calm and collected manner which dogs respond very well to. I love dogs of all breeds, and I am quite skilled in reading their behavior. My experience in taking care of dogs comes from being a dog owner for most of my life, having raised puppies and trained them into their adulthood. I also have experience as a dog sitter, working with a large dog with severe separation anxiety. I visited him once or twice a week for walks and just to give him affection, as well as did several over-nights when his owner was out of town. I absolutely loved spending time with him, specifically taking him on walks. Walking dogs is enjoyable not only for the dogs, but also for me. I love being outside and strolling through neighborhoods and parks.
