I have been a dog lover for as long as I can remember! I always loved watching animal planet and reading books about dog breeds. I have had three adopted shelter dogs over the years. Our first, a 90 lb yellow lab/dalmation mix named Woody. Then we found and adopted Buzz, a 50 lb pitbull/german shepherd mix, from the side of the road. Our current family dog is Banjo, a 110 lb foxhound/mastiff/german shepherd mix. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes but mixed breeds and shelter pups have a special place in my heart ❤️ My experience mostly comes from taking care of my own pets, although I have helped care for neighbors and friends pets as well. I have also volunteered a couple months in a shelter, walking and playing with the dogs. I can fully handle walking dogs of all sizes, feeding and playing with them. I also have experience with dogs that are anxious around people and other animals. I have never owned a cat but I have lived with roommates and a host family that owned cats. I have also done cat sitting for neighbors. I know the basics and am a quick learner for whatever you need! I am very respectful of others homes, rules and routines. Please provide me with as much detail as possible for what you need and I will do my best to help! I respond quickly, and communicative and reliable. I would love the chance to meet you and take care of your best friend 🐶🐱
