I have had several pets of my own: an elderly mastiff (about 4 years), a rescued German shepherd (5 years), a black lab (10 years). I also have watched numerous dogs while their families were on vacation for several months (yellow lab, chihuahua), and cared for a rescued husky while waiting for it's permanent home (2 years). I love dogs and the outdoors!

I have experience walking and caring for my own pets over the years, as well as several friend's and family members while they are away.
