Pet care experience

I have enjoyed neighbors' and friends' dogs and entertained them in my house after my German Sheperd left me. I took care of my Cocker Spaniel for 6 years. Later on, I obtained my German Sheperd and had it for 16 years. So I have plenty of years of experience taking care of dogs. Besides my own dogs, I have sat my friend's and neighbors' dogs ever since I have memory. I think dogs are the most beautiful creatures, and I would love to take care of your dogs. I enjoy taking care of educated dogs, but I also have patience for the not so well behaved dogs. In the 106 condos in my neighborhood, at least 100 of them have dogs, so I get to enjoy dogs every time I go out my door.

Taking care of my adorable, feisty seven month old chihuahua can quite the task. But Melinda makes it seem easy. My puppy is a very shy and aggressive puppy. He will try to bite any stranger who dares to pet him. When he met Melinda, it was only a matter of a couple minutes that she gained his trust. Not to mention, he will chew everything that is on his way. Melinda is very patient with him and tries to correct him in a good manner. She is definitely my to go person when I need my puppy to be watched after.
