I’ve had labs for over 12 years now and helped train our pups when they were only a couple months old! I love playing with my dogs and taking them on runs or walks. In college I lived with a husky and a corgi mix. I took them on walks and often looked after them when their owners were out of town. I have a few friends that are pre-vet majors who give me plenty of advice for any health related issues for dogs that I’ve taken care of. I am a very patient dog owner and love getting to know new dogs! I live close to downtown Santa Barbara and working remotely - meaning I am extremely flexible all days of the week. I can stay at your home, or check in on your pup frequently throughout the day. I usually wake up fairly early, so early mornings are no problem for me. I would love to go on walks with your dog, spend the day with them, or just drop in and hang out for a bit. I also have a car and would be able to take your dog out on a hike or to their favorite park! Because I work fully remote I have a very flexible schedule and will be able to spend as much downtime with your dog as necessary. I have had plenty of experience taking dogs into my home, and dog sitting at an owner’s home. I am extremely respectful of your space and will clean up after your dog if necessary. My apartment, and my two roommates, are dog friendly, however I cannot have your dog stay overnight. I live in a walkable neighborhood close to a few parks.
