Before I had kids I fostered, boarded and pet sat all kinds of animals including the largest and smallest dogs for a few years. I've also worked on farms, worked with kids and disabled people. I'm a very nurturing person. I love the outdoors and believe in fitness and health for humans and dogs. I've even made homemade dog food. I have a gentle German shepherd and 3 kids who love animals and understand how to be safe and gentle with dogs. I'm available during summer and part time during the school year. I'm in great shape, very attentive and good at trouble shooting. I've been known to send photos to parents of their fur babies, so you have peace of mind and just an extra touch of happiness. Bgj
