Experience: My family has had several different breeds of dogs for as long as I can remember, from a couple small mutts to a couple Golden retrievers, a Scottish and Welsh terrier, a Great Dane and 3 German Shepards! My own dog, Bella, is a long-haired Dachshund and is extremely well-behaved from my training. I have experience dog sitting small breeds and am strong enough to walk a (at least mostly!) leash trained Great Dane. I've been in athletics my entire life so I'm more than capable or running, playing, and exercising your pups. I also have been a long term au pair twice (in Los Angeles for 3 mo and France for 12 mo) and have babysat for many different families so I'm very trustworthy, and don't mind providing references if that's a comfort for you. Restrictions: I will not provide care for dogs that are aggressive or have a tendency to bite. If they're small-medium sized and not well leash trained I don't mind helping them learn, even if they're strong. If they're a large breed and not well leash trained, my acceptance would be case-to-case (I don't want to be dragged) but I'm not afraid to be firm with a dog! I will also only stay at your house if it is clean and maintained and I can have a good chat with you beforehand.
