My only main concern is if your pet is not sociable with other dogs and the owner doesn't mention it or the dog has a pet peeve that might make them growl or snap. I expect each dog to be different and to have specific likes or dislikes I need to be aware of. I have had a Chow Chow and several terriers, so I am not concerned about size or breed type as long as the owner lets me know of any behavioral concerns up front. I simply will not handle a dog who seems aggressive.

I will take dogs on long walks along the Elizabeth River Trail and, if specified by owner, take them for play time at the PETA dog park. I can go through training exercises that match your dog's skill and play games like Frisbee, catch, chase, tug-of-war, and dole out hundreds of pets. Really, whatever your dog prefers, that is what I will spend time doing.
