Aside from my 2 year old lab/German Shorthair mix, I've grown up with dogs and absolutely love all breeds. I've never had a bad experience with one and get the sense that dogs are very comfortable around me. I know how stressful it can be to make sure your dog is comfortable during the day, as I am a touring musician and my wife works in Brentwood. I'd love to help you and your dog(s) out!
