I'm a very patient and engaging person. I understand that some dogs are more trusting than others when it comes to new human friends, but I am willing to not only work with more "difficult" dogs but adapt to their special needs in order to make them comfortable. I am usually available early mornings and afternoons, which is the best time to get walks and exercise in, to make for a tired out doggy ready for cuddling and bed. I have dog sat and walked dogs for 5 years and even have some experience in doggy dieting. Some specials skills I have are teaching simple tricks like "sit" and "paw" and I am a professional tummy scratcher. I work the best with energetic dogs, but I also love those who just want to roll over and watch some TV. Just as a side note, I am also cat-friendly for anyone who shares a dual household!
