I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I have cared for them and many other types of animals. I have had and cares for dogs as small as 10 pounds up to my last dog which is a 250 pounds mastiff. My current dog is a miniature Australian Shepard. I would love to watch and care for your furry family member while you are busy! I play rugby so large dogs are not a problem at all. I would prefer to not have them get on the furniture but it is okay if they do. Potty trained is preferred but I can work and help with the training if he/she is not trained yet. I love dogs and I believe that they are part of the family so I will take great care of your dog.
