Information Shawne S. would like to know about your pet

Mainly if they are staying at my house I need them to be ok with cats, I have 3. If they are aggressive to other dogs, destructive when left alone and if there is any other behaviors that I need to be aware of.

A typical day

I live within walking distance to a small park but love to go walk around other local parks, lots of variety and smells! Always up for a game of fetch or tug of war. I am really good at cuddling and giving some extra attention. If you are working on training i can carry on any practices to help with that.

Pet care experience

I have owned a couple of large dogs including a great dane. No longer have any dogs because i love to travel but miss them so. I figure i can help out others who would like to get away or just get caught up at work. Flexible on quick notice for most services. I work in an animal care field and could handle many types of animals if you have more than just dogs. Good with special cases. Unfortunately work full time so I could come by before and after work. Available weekends. I already dog sit for many friends and relatives. I love getting to see the personalities of each dog. Really looking for some good walking partners to help me get my steps in either around your area or if good with transport at a local park.
