I have grown up with dogs, all of varying sizes and energy levels. These dogs included labs, jack russell/poodle, Australian shepherd, bichon, golden retriever, pit bull/doberman. Growing up surrounded by dogs has taught me to respect their different needs and temperaments. I love dogs more than anything and have more than enough energy to help take care of them. I frequently dogsit for my friends and family and have proven to be capable as well as responsible when doing so.
