I consider dogs a gift of nature. As a child I used to rescue stray dogs (in Argentina) and bring them home to care for them. Ended up having like 10 in the upstairs room+ terrace. Nowadays, I have an 11 year old lab mix, Tango, who is super friendly. He's being with me since he was a puppy. He is my soul brother. He enjoys meeting new dog friends. I had cared for many dogs over the years for friends. It comes very naturally. I only take one dog at a time on days that I am mostly at home, so your dog will get individualized attention. To me, is like having a great friend visit. I will be interested in what your dog needs, as far as exercise, food, sleep, medication, etc, and make sure he has that, plus a lot of love. I love hiking, and going outdoors so it works for me to have the great company of dogs. Also, there are a lot of green-open spaces in the condominium complex I live in. If I am going out with your dog and mine to a park or a trail, we'll be going in style, in a cool '80 VW Vanagon with plenty and comfortable space for humans and dogs.
