I am a young adult who has grown up with dogs and pets my entire life. I love animals. I have taken care of family and friend's pets for years. I also feel that I am very patient with animals and enjoy spending time with them in the outdoors. I am an active and organized person. I feel that I am dependable in life and flexible with my schedule to be able to accommodate your schedule. I truly enjoy being around animals, and have never met a dog that I was not able to get along with (pitbulls included). Even skittish dogs somehow warm up to me very quickly. I do not believe in spanking or punishing an animal. I think that firm commands work just as well. Typically when I am caring for someone's dog at their house, I wake up extra early to let them out and feed them (depending on how much food they intake a day) and then take them on a morning walk, weather permitting. I work a full-time job (9- 6pm). Depending on your location I can go home for lunch (work in Buckhead). I take the dog out twice during that time to make sure the animal is inside as little as possible. Once I am home from work I will let the dog out again and take the dog on another long walk and to the park for some exercise for us both. If I am not working while caring for your dog, I basically take the dog with me everywhere. Whether it is going out to lunch, or over to a friends, I will bring the dog to make sure it is not sitting at home alone all day (no one likes to be alone all day). When caring for your animal, I treat it as if it were my own. After all, do unto others as they would do for you!
