My parents own a pet store and have lots of knowledge on animals that's been passed to me. I've lived with dogs that needed lots of maintenance and care (Shar Pei). I've worked with dogs, on and off, for a majority of my life. Currently, my 2000 sq. ft. ranch houses: Myself, my father, and my 12 year old tabby. The house sits on one open acre of grass, surrounded by a light forest area. My cat will be kept separated from the dogs, for the sake of ease. He is well behaved, but antisocial. I go to school on Mon-Thur, 1-6PM, and work a flexible 20 hours on the weekends. In that time, my father will be home to watch the dogs. Other than school and work, I will be home to watch the dogs and give them my full attention. I have been trained to walk dogs in a proper fashion, how you would like me to walk YOUR dog is up to you. I can let the dog lead the walk, or vice versa. I will also follow any preferences in how you treat your dog. If your dog is highly trained and you don't wish for a sitter to undo any of said training, I understand and can accommodate.
