Pet care experience
I am a recent resident of Norman, working on my Masters in Landscape Architecture. I am around the house or at the park for study breaks quite often. I was raised with Labradors and Dalmatians and Terriers but I rarely meet a clam dog I don't like! I adore dogs and want to have my own but I have been travelling between Colorado, New York, and Oklahoma frequently and did not want to put a large dog (I love big dogs!) through the strains of travelling. While I'm home though, I miss canine companionship. I am currently training for a half-marathon and run multiple times a week. I would be more than happy to run or walk with your pup. Why I love dog sitting I was raised mostly with Labradors. They're so loyal and loving. Everyone in my extended family loves and has dogs- a few small ones (Yorkies and Shih-tzus) but the dogs all have one thing in common, they love people! I would love to have a dog of my own but I travel extensively a couple times a year and don't always have a regular schedule. I'm looking forward to spending time with all kinds of breeds and better inform my decision when I decide I'm ready to adopt. When I visit my parents, they always joke about how their dog is about to get in shape because I take their Lab, Stella, to the park or on bike rides or runs the whole time. Meet my pets No other pets. My house is small but like I said, I am running at the park frequently. I have hardwood floors and laminent in the kitchen. I look forward to smart, calm dogs who love people and playing :) About my yard Its unfenced but behind 2 other houses on the lot, right up against the alley. I spend nice days outside drawing in the little yard in a lawn chair. My experience administering medication Pills, yes

Information Madalene A. would like to know about your pet
I am not prepared to host angry, aggressive dogs. How do they let me know its time to potty? Do they get into the trash often? Do they have naughty eating habits (socks, underwear, wires)? Are they calm on a leash? How do you prepare them for a walk (signal to them we're going out)? Do they get along with other dogs? Is it ok to play fetch off leash at the park? Have they run away? Have they jumped out of a car window before? My parents dogs have a knack for that last one...
A typical day
I will take them all around the sidewalks of Norman - usually closest to campus. If your pup is capable, I would be more than happy to take them off leash and play fetch in the park. I am also a runner and would be happy to take runs with him/her if he/she likes that. Your dog's sleeping arrangement If you have a doggy bed for your pup, feel free to bring it and I can set it up in my room or the living room. Time I'll spend with your dog When I am listed as available, I will be at home the whole time (barring trips to the grocery store, etc) and will be working/studying. We will visit to park and have plenty of potty breaks.
