I have grown up around dogs my entire life. I am very comfortable with large dogs as we always had larger breeds including a great dane. I can be assertive when necessary to command the animals attention without yelling or hurting them by yanking their leash or collar. I have watched my friends dogs and taken them for walks or checked in on them while they were away since living in New York. I can give your dog medication if necessary and will do all I can to ensure they have a safe and happy experience while you are away. I am available weekdays any time after 6pm for drop ins. If scheduled to stay at an apartment and watch a dog I will be sure to take them out before work and immediately upon returning during weekdays. Weekends are open availability and would be happy to accommodate multiple clients or clients with multiple animals. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing a dogs smiling face when you come in after a long day, and I would love to incorporate that into my life more.
