I've owned dogs since I was 10 (Corgis if you must know!). I've always been very aware when caring for dogs, whether mine or someone else's. Dogs need exercise, and especially in a city like New York, this is incredibly important. I'll run with your dog, play fetch til we're both sick of it, or just hang out outside with them. Big dogs, little dogs, old dogs, puppies, I have experience with them all and will treat them with the same quality of care and attention that I do to my own. I'm located in Northern Brooklyn, but happy to travel to the 5 boroughs - available most days and times, my schedule is currently very fluid. Looking forward to meeting your pup! - Bill
