Having two dogs myself, I feel comfortable offering services of dog walking, feeding, and entertaining your dog(s). My own dogs went through dog training so I've witnessed techniques on how to properly approach and handle misbehavior, and I am familiar with shock collars if your dog uses them.

I have been dog/house sitting dogs of all ages for the last 7 years. I typically stay at the dog's home, but if your dog is friendly then they are more than welcome to come to our home (I have a 6 month bernedoodle). I love taking dogs for long walks, play, and reinforcing training. Happy to help with any and all pet needs!
