Hello, When I grew up on a farm in Sweden there were always dogs around and I always enjoyed taking care of them. More recently I've watched dogs for friends and family for several years, including dogs that others could not handle. For example, my son has a dog that is sometimes aggressive towards people who approach her too quickly or who do not pick up on her signals to be left alone. The dog loves being with me, because I respect her boundaries and am great at reading her body language. I have a great sensitivity for what dogs need, not just in terms of their physical requirements such as exercise, but also what they need both emotionally (affection vs. time alone) and mentally (rest vs. stimulation). I truly love dogs and always enjoy dog-sitting. Being professional is important to me and you can count on me to be reliable.
