I have been around dogs my whole life. I started with my own, a German Shorthair, when I was 6 years-old, and then began caring for others around my neighborhood. I find dogs to be fascinating and exciting animals, and have never met a dog that I have not gotten along with. Whether they are big or small, I enjoy their company, and am sure that they will enjoy mine. My experience is both with dog walking and long-term daily pet care. For several years I cared for a family-friend's (high maintenance) Cocker Spaniel for month-long periods while they traveled. I also did walks for a German Shepard mix, daily, for over 3 years. I have varying class schedules each day, but generally have free time mid-day, around lunch, to do walks and house-calls. I look forward to meeting your four-legged friend!
