Not only did I grow up around my family's dogs and cats, I was often recruited by neighborhood friends to dog-sit their pups - even the somewhat less well-behaved ones! In the past four years, I have watched and sat dozens of dogs for friends and acquaintances. I'm especially looking forward to spending time with your puppers! I'm a very out-going, active, and calm person. Most dogs seem to respond well to this. I think of dog-sitting and dog-walking more as fun activities and not at all like chores. I love taking dogs on long walks, adventures in the park, and even moderate hikes if the weather is good! I would love to be a part of your dog's life and help make them (and you as a result) happy! I'm also happy to pet sit cats if need be!
