I am older, wiser and in control of my dog of 8 years. I like to walk, and talk to the dogs. I think its important to talk to them. I walk along the river. Or if in your home in your area. If anything was to happen with us during our walk I would like to have specific instructions as to how you would like me to handle your dog. I think communication is the key to any good relationship of employee to employer. I have never had a dog watching job. But I have owned my dog for the past 8 years. His name is Hennessey, we go on daily walks a couple times a day. If you will allow me to i will treat your dog as my own. Thank you Patrecia
