I had a beloved Rat Terrier named Indy for over 17 years and also adopted and rescued an about-to-be-euthanized Cock-a-poo named Bear. I have been contemplating adopting a dog from the local Humane Society but haven't done it quite yet. In the mean time providing dog-care services is the next best thing to owning a dog. Karma, my new roommates' pit bull, absolutely loves me, as do . My first gig, with blood hound named Gemma, went fantastic. She and I played Fetch and sometimes Tug of War. Owner Nick gave me a 5-star review, booked me again and this time I took care of both Gemma and their other dog, Lincoln, which went ¨dog" gone great. If staying at your house, if the client desires, I will clean and tidy up the house and even yard if there is time.
