I'm originally from the east coast but have lived in San Diego (PB) since 2014. My family got our first dog when I was in 7th grade, so I've had a lot of experience taking care of pups. She sadly passed in 2019...she was almost 18 years old! I now have my own pup... an Australian Shepherd named Brigsby who I rescued from Kuwait. He's the best! Loves ALL dogs & regularly goes to doggy daycare. If your pup would like a friend to play with, he'll be stoked! If not, no worries! He's perfectly fine staying at home with my boyfriend while I housesit/take care of other pups. I'll never bring him with me without the owner's permission or request. I'm very active & LOVE to be outside, so your pup is guaranteed to get a lot of exercise when we're together! I Whether you're going on a long vacation, a work trip, or just need to get away for one night... I'm your girl! And I've had lots of experience housesitting for months at a time for families. Not only am I an expert house/dog sitter, but I've also worked at a doggy daycare where my days were FULL of nothing but dogs! It's safe to say I know more names of dogs than actual people... and I'm okay with it!
