First and foremost I am a dog lover! I have a 6 year old, high energy Pointer/Bully mix. His name is Madden and he's what I always look forward coming home to. Madden also has had roommates, Jack the Doberman, Charlie the Boston Terrier, and Bowser the Schnauzer; they all got along great! I am able to provide a companion if your dog requires such. Relevant skills would include dog walking, understanding and able to read an anxious animal, able to stimulate, teach and instruct. Plenty of time would be allotted to play with positive reinforcement. Experiencing working with abused & rescued animals who may require extra time to warm up and feel comfortable. I can do much more than just walk and house sit: if you need nail trimming or baths, give me a shout and we can work out all of the details.
