I'm a PhD student who is currently working on my dissertation. I have a lot of flexibility during the week and on the weekends, and I love dogs. I have a dog of my own. (She's an almost 10 year old rescue who is quirky and wonderful.) In fact, I've had dogs for as long as I can remember. My first was a Chihuahua named Cricket--a two year birthday gift from my parents. I will treat your dog like my own. Cuddles, walks, fresh water, ThunderShirt (if needed), medicine (if needed), frequent potty breaks, and a lot of one on one love. Also, your dog (or dogs!) will have what I prefer for mine: Care in the safety and comfort of their own homes! I'm also happy to provide photo and text and/or email updates.
