I grew up with two dogs in my household and frequently dog sitted for friends. I love dogs and people have told me I can create a close bond with their pet in an impressively short amount of time. I know what it takes to care for dogs and what is required to meet their needs and keep them happy. I also know how important dogs are to their owners, and therefore take sitting seriously. I plan to have a dog of my own in the future, but my current schedule doesn't allow it so dog sitting is the next best thing! I'm currently a medical student at Johns Hopkins. My schedule varies considerably, but I'm frequently away during normal work hours and have more availability on evenings and weekends.
