Hello, I have had dogs as companions ever since I was a baby. My first dog was my guardian angel and would sit by the door when we had guests to make sure no one took her baby. I love dogs, and love taking care of them. I liked when I was home from college and could pop on music or a podcast and walk my dogs. It was very cathartic. I have taken on all kinds of tricks to get my dogs or others' dogs to take their required medication, and I enjoy the quirky personalities each dog has. I also enjoy playing games with the dogs like tug-o'-war and hide-and-seek. I also have a cat at my folks' house that enjoys cuddling up when we visit on weekends. If you are looking for someone to take care of your dog while you are at work, or even on vacation, I will happily do so, and send as many pictures as you would like so you know your furry friends are cared for.
