I've had dogs basically since I was born, and am well-versed in taking care of them, whether it's cleaning up messes or going on walks. I've been a dog sitter in the past and volunteered at animal shelters as young as 13. I miss my family's dogs in my hometown of St. Louis and would treat your dogs with the same love, care, and respect as I'd treat my own. I have experience with cats as well as dogs (my animal shelter experience was mostly with cats, my roommate owns a cat who I help take care of, and I have some experience owning a cat). I have experience working with dogs of all ages (from 17 weeks to 17 years) and even limited experience with special needs dogs (a couple of my dogs in the past had seizures, which turned out to be brain tumors). I currently live in an apartment, and because my roommate has a cat, I can't provide dog-boarding services :( Nonetheless, I am happy to stay at your place, drop in and check on your pups, serve as a dog chaffeur, or take them on walks around town! Although I don't have any dogs at home, I do have dogs at my parents' house! They are some of the dogs you see in my pictures - Roscoe is the Westie, Dylan is the black lab, and Bingo is the black and white one (he's part border collie). You'll probably hear lots of stories about them.
