I've had and helped in the care of dogs since I was born. Most recently, I spent two weeks house-sitting and caring for my aunt's dachshund (full disclosure: he survived and possibly gained a pound or two) and we had a great time together. If you're too busy being awesome and productive, I can walk just fine-- and can even add a little jog-- so your dog gets the exercise they need. When you are called elsewhere, I would be happy to cuddle the night (or thunderstorm) away for your puppy in your stead. I am able and willing to stay at your house to disrupt your pet's daily routine as little as possible and will of course take great care of your home as well.
