I have my own dog and so I look @ pets as children :) I would definitely be responsible and give your dog the care that it deserves because I would expect the same for my son, Olaf. I give walks 3 times a day, and can follow any specific instructions that you may have. I have only my experience with my own dog which pretty much sums up the care you need for yours! I welcome all small dogs and breeds, since I don't really have experience with larger dogs. My son Olaf is very friendly and loves to play with other dogs. We have a big fenced yard where they can play during the day in addition to walks around the neighborhood. Thank you for stopping by!
