I have a labradoodle who I potty trained myself and crate trained myself. I love dogs of all sizes and can also give them baths! I am a registered nurse, so I only work 3 12 hour shifts a week and I make my own schedule, so I have flexible days I can take care of your pets. I also grew up with 3 cats and a labradors retriever.
