I currently take care of my parent's purebred Cavalier King Charles dog. I walk him everyday, and put a coat on him to ensure he stays warm and comfortable outside. Then I wash his paws in the basement basin sink after the walk to get the salt and mud off of his paws. I dry his paws afterward with towels and a hairdryer. This ensures his bed stays clean, and that he is happy. I will take off my shoes when I visit your home, and keep it clean, maintained, and preserved. The thing that sets me apart is that I'm a non-smoker and a non-drinker, reliable, organized with good references. When I stay over, I will take the dog out frequently to prevent accidents.
