My family has had dogs since I was born - usually big dogs - and I've also taken care of small dogs when in college. I love to be with dogs and am available for weekends, holidays, or early mornings and late nights. I'm patient with pets and will take the time to get them to feel calm and relaxed around me - or energetic and playful! I have experience with big dogs, Newfoundlands and Great Danes, so can handle taking them on walks or to dog parks. Basically, I love being with dogs, whether it's playing with them, giving them a good pet and rub down, having them run around a field for awhile, or just laying with them on the couch. Dogs are great and should feel great and loved. I can't have a dog of my own yet, so I'd love the opportunity to spend time and make friends with yours!
