I have always had a special bond with dogs. My first word was dog, if that tells you anything. I have had a dog since the age of six. I believe they are a member of the family and should be treated as such! I want your dog to feel that way even while you are away. I am comfortable with all breeds of dogs and confident in assessing their needs. I worked at a dog boarding facility for a summer taking care of dogs. My duties included cleaning, walking, playing, and tucking them in at night. I know how to put on many types of harnesses. I'm also really good at getting dogs to take oral medication. I also know how to read a dogs emotions based on their body language/stance.
