Who let the dogs IN? I did! W/love

Pet care experience

Growing up, my family always had dogs. I often would help my uncle care for his 2 large dogs. As a teenager, I frequently house sat neighbor's and friends dogs for multiple days at time while they went away for work or vacation. They grew to love me. Now I have two dogs of my own, June & Jade! June is an Australian Cattle Dog/Lab mix & Jade is a cockapoo! I am here to offer that same love, care, and patience to your dogs as I have mine. I have experience in walking, bathing, and grooming different breeds of dogs. I think that I had pretty good relationships with the pets. I am here to help your pet feel just as loved as if you were caring for him or her. Whatever you need, please do not hesitate to ask. I am here to let the dogs in with love.
