I love dogs, I have lived with/owned/cared for dogs (in one of those forms) my whole life. I am patient and caring, teaching being my profession, and would love to care for your dog when you are unable to be home. I am comfortable with small dogs as well as large dogs and everything in between. Having owned a large dog (great Dane) I feel comfortable walking and caring for large dogs. I will treat your dog like they were my own while in my care. I am a teacher so my availability is in the afternoon after 3 p.m. and on the weekends during the school year and it's a bit more flexible during the summer. To me this is more than just a job, I really enjoy spending time with dogs just about as much as I love teaching!
