I am a starting fresh to take care of dogs, though I have at times take care of my friends cat. The cat "motto" her name is quite shy and reserved but we got along well and she was taken care of nicely. I myself have 2 dogs back home a German Shepherd ( 3yrs old) and a Labrador (2 yrs old). I miss them a lot so don't worry I would take care you pets like my own! Feel free to ask my any questions! Looking forward to meeting you and your dog!
