I owned a dog for 10 years, and cared for her when my parents went out of town. I took her on nightly walks and always kept her food and water dishes filled. I am from Arizona so I understand the extreme importance of keeping a dog well treated against the elements. My dog was a rescue, so I have experience with dogs that can be hesitant around new people or have other behavioral challenges. I have house sitting and dog watching experience with dogs of all sizes, including some older dogs that needed extra care, such as low impact interactions and medication needs. I also have some experience with blind and/or deaf dogs. I really enjoy playing with and interacting with dogs. I love to teach them new tricks, cuddling with them, and taking them on walks or playing fetch.
