I have grown up around dogs, cats, horses, birds and you name it. I am an avid animal lover and currently have two horses and a cat who brighten up my days. Currently, the barn dogs are my surrogate dogs because my apartment doesn't allow dogs :( I have cared for older and sick dogs. I am comfortable with energetic dogs or dogs that just want a good belly rub and a stroll around the block. I currently don't have a full time job so I have time to hike and adventure and bring your dogs along with me! I do best with medium to large dogs who are relatively well behaved on a leash or out running around. Comes when called a plus! I love all breeds.
