I've handled animals my whole life including dogs, cats, fish, birds, iguanas, snakes. I've volunteered at animal shelters before to help out and have learned a few things about feeding, grooming, walking, handling, etc. I love being around animals and will take great care of them.

I have provided pet care for numerable friends & family. I walk them on the bike trails or accompany them to dog parks. I think every dog has a "personality", & I find respecting a dogs boundaries & bonding through "getting to know" a dog is the key to establishing trust.
