I have years of experience caring for my own dogs and others. I worked as a dog walker and dog sitter in New York City for several years. I have experience caring for dogs as small as 5 pounds and as large as 130 pounds. In terms of my dog care philosophy, I feel that safety should be the first priority. All dogs are walked on secure leashes. When caring for dogs in my home, I will ensure that all dogs are capable of sharing a yard and house together safely. No toys will be out in the home to cause conflict and all dogs will be fed separately to prevent any issues or aggression. My backyard is fully and securely fenced. But once safety is ensured, it's playtime!
