I grew up with two dogs and have dog sat for my brother's two (medium & large) dogs the past two summers. I love dogs and have had puppy fever ever since my dog passed away. I adore large dogs, but I am on the smaller side so if they are a puller when walking, it might be beyond me. Otherwise, I am very patient and loving. I will give your dog the attention and love they need. I am also a licensed teacher and work part time with Pre-K-8th, so while students aren't exactly the same, I am used to high energy care environments. I will be in Champaign-Urbana chauffeuring a wheelchair-bound friend from mid-July-mid-August, which will give me time when she is at work to dog sit and take dogs on walks in the C-U area.
