For five years, I've devoted time to taking care of dogs. With two poodles I've raised from puppyhood, I know what it takes to be patient with dogs, especially when he/she doesn't know any better. Spending my life around other family dogs gave me much needed knowledge of how to best treat them, and sitting for many of them gave me even more knowledge and understanding, not to mention absolute love for our furry friends. I've also had a fair amount of experience with cats, and while I quickly came to appreciate the laid back and low maintenance nature of cats, I'll always have a special place in my heart for man's best friend, whether a great Dane or a chihuahua; whether an athlete or a couch potato; I'll be ready and willing to provide any dog whatever they need.
