In high school I cared for many of my neighbor's dogs and really enjoyed it! I've cared for many different types of dogs ranging from shih tzu to irish wolfhound, and from well trained to not very well trained. I also owned a miniature schnauzer for 12 years who was very happy and well cared for. I get along well with any type of dog and can assure that yours will be cared for as if it was my own. I am home most of the time, but I am a student athlete at William and Mary so I will practice from 3 pm to 6 pm. However, your dog will become my number one priority. I will take your dog for at least 3 walks a day or more ot less if necessary.
