I have never been without a dog in my entire life, and usually have had at least 4 at a time. I have 2 dogs with very different personalities and needs, so I am able to cater to the specific responsibilities that are required for any pet. Several of my dogs in the past have been rescues, so I have experience with anxious animals. I come from a long line of dog and animal lovers (my grandma had 27 boxers at once!) and my family has a reputation in the community for being available to help with any kind of pet care taking. I am great with all breeds of dogs, however, chihuahuas, pit bulls, corgis, boxers, and German Shepards are particular breeds I have spent more time with. My late German Shepard was a rescue, and was very anxious when we got him because of suspected abuse. One of my dogs was also blind, as was one of my hedgehogs. My family and I have experience training dogs so we work very well with them. I am patient, responsible, caring, and playful. I will treat your dog as if they were my own, and can accommodate to the specific needs of your pet.
