I've had dogs all my life. My first dog growing up was Lucy, a chubby, feisty, westie. My folks got her before I was born so needless to say when I came around she treated me like the annoying little brother that I probably was but she was definitely my first real pal. I've never met a dog I didn't immediately fall in love with. I truly mean it when I say "your dog is the cutest dog I've ever seen," even though I tell virtually everyone that. I have 22 years of experience with dogs. I've personally had 3 dogs (Lucy, Squiggy and currently Axl) throughout my life. My girlfriend and I have a sweet little cat at home named MK (it stands for Meerkat). I have been dog/cat sitting since I was in high-school. I'm reliable and responsible and can promise that I will love your dog and they will love me!
