I have been around a wide variety of dog breeds and personalities since as far back as I can remember. I got my first puppy at around 3 years old, and my family and friends have always had dogs and cats. I have watched over not only dogs and cats, but other animals such as horses, goats, cows, etc. I have house sat multiple times for families who have more than one dog or cat (sometimes both) and for families that have dogs/cats with special needs. I also have references upon request. I now have an Australian Cattle dog who is my best friend, and goes with me everywhere. He is a high energy breed, so if I’m working with a dog who exhibits that same trait, I am familiar with how to exercise that dog mentally and physically so that they are stimulated and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
