I am 28 years old and have been around animals my whole life. It doesn't matter the size I love them all! I currently own a 150 pound Great Dane, and previously owned a 120 pound pitbull mix so I am well versed in controlling extra large dogs. I also currently work at a horse barn. I absolutely adore all animals and treat them all as my own. I have some training skills so I can help with continued training while you are away. I don't mind bathing dogs although I am not a groomer. I will offer treats only if it is ok with the owner. I always carry a doggie first aid kit in my car just incase, and of course would contact the owner if anything happened. Of course I will give all the snuggles and love you're dog could ever want while you are away!!
