I am playful with the dogs, but I also teach them discipline so they don't act up or get too hyper. They end up respecting me and their owners. I have taken care of senior dogs, puppies, and adult dogs. I learned from my mom how to take care of dogs, who is also a Rover sitter. Dogs love me and yours would be in great hands if you let me care for him/her. I also have a Miniature Schnauzer pup who is 2 years old, and loves to socialize with other dogs. I ask that all dog owners who choose me, provide good and healthy foods for their dogs. And if they are crate trained to have their crates with them so they can feel comfortable when sleeping
