I've been taking care of pets since I was little and in particular had my first dog when I was 15. I trained him and took him on walks hikes and trail running. In and out of college I would pet sit or walk dogs. I am married and currently have three children, one of which has autism. I have one dog Emma and three guinea pigs. Emma was a rescue with loads of issues we have been working through and her training is coming along nicely. I know how to care for children and pets. Your dog will be in good hands.
