I've owned a small dog (shih tzu) for the past few years, which naturally involves all aspects of taking care of a dog, including convincing my dog to take his heart medicine. I have taken care of a few dogs on the side by going for walks and feeding them a few times a day. Going for walks is my specialty, so I tend to keep my walks somewhat long to make sure your dogs get all the exercise they need. High-energy dogs are no challenge for me; I simply love keeping them busy and playing with them. I am a graduate student, but when I am not teaching or studying, I intend to devote all my spare time to taking care of your dog!
