I have had a few years of experience of paid dog sitting/walking but ever since I was born I have been around dogs and love them. I am very comfortable around pretty much any dog, and have found ways to make them feel the same way. I enjoy taking them to the beach, park or even up to Gibraltar on some occasions.
