I've been around dogs since infancy. For some reason, most of my family's dogs acted like cats -- very independent and wary of strangers. Because of this, I can tell when a dog wants to be played with or left alone. I tend to let dogs come to me; I wait for them to be comfortable before I approach them. Though I have experience with energetic puppies, I spend most of my time around dogs who are either old or just plain tired. I'm familiar with housebreaking protocols and am willing to dogsit before your dog is fully housebroken. I understand the difference between a puppy who bites people and a puppy who is teething and needs a chew toy. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out!
