Throughout my entire life I have be around dogs. Growing up, we always had two or three dogs running around the house and I've learned a lot about caring for and walking them. For 5 years, I have house sat and dog sat three dogs and three cats for a former high school teacher. Each vacation from college or summer I would stay at her house and take care of her loveable, larger dogs Brewer, Ruby, and Jersey. Additionally, I've cared for my friend's family's dog in a similar way. I've been around both protective and playful dogs and would love to get to know your pup more and let them receive the love and attention they need and deserve when you can't be there. :)
