I have stayed overnight at several different houses caring for pets for three years. I have stayed at houses with more than one dog at a time as well as houses with dogs and other animals. I have watched dogs between 10 and 120 pounds. The smallest dog I have watched is a chihuahua and the biggest is a great dane/ mastiff mix. I love to take dogs running, walking or hiking. I like being active and keeping dogs entertained so I will play with them all day. I'm good at following instructions for things like special diets or administering medication. I am very patient with animals even if they are moody. I am also flexible if schedules change or there is a last minute change of plans.
