I've had dogs since I was a little girl, both big and little but mostly little. I love them all regardless! I haven't done much public dog sitting but I've taken excellent care of my own pets, of course. I'm currently a high school senior, about to graduate so I'm not available during the day time usually. But I get out of my classes around 3PM so after that and especially in the evenings, I'm available. I have reliable transportation so in the rare event that an emergency needs to be taken care of, I can go to the nearest animal hospital with no complications. I'm moderately athletic so if your dog needs more of a run than a walk around the neighborhood, I'm definitely capable! Given the materials I can also wash them at home if they need a bath.
