Hi! I grew up owning akitas, so I'm used to big dogs, especially those that don't always play well with others. I also have ridden horses my whole life, and there's always a motley crew of canines running around the barn--from shiba inus to labs to rottweilers and everything in between. I love all breeds. I should note that while I marked on my profile that I'm fine with dogs on my furniture, I do follow whatever rules the pup parents have worked hard to enforce, so rest assured that no time-intensive training will come undone on my watch. I walked dogs and puppy-sat through college in Boston, so I'm happy to take your pup out in the colder temperatures. I also have extensive experience with cats, goats (odd, I know), and horses, so can petsit your other four-legged pals as well. Rates are negotiable, and I'm happy to provide references upon request!
