Hello, I have lived with dogs for many years (27), I had a bernese mountain dog growing up and later a beagle and yellow lab as a teenager. Currently I provide help for my mother's 3 dogs when she is out of town. I do not intend having my mother's dogs over while house sitting. I like to keep active so running and walks have become more of a habit of mine, if you have an active dog I know some good trails in the Reno - Tahoe area (*Note for walks I do work a 8am-5pm weekday job so I am most available for walks 5pm-9pm). For house sits, I have a large fenced backyard for dogs to run in, I can play fetch several times a day if your dog needs exercise. I love working with dogs and find them some of the best companions.
