Being quite the outdoors enthusiast, I won't hesitate to make sure your dog gets the activity and love he/she needs while you're away! In my experience, dogs are their happiest when they're allowed to be curious, smelling and exploring new areas of their worlds. I am a certified handler for service dogs in training, so I know how to handle dogs of all breeds, from a teacup Yorkie, to a 100+ lb Rhodesian Ridgeback! I’m a responsible, outgoing and energetic recent grad, hoping to work in animal behavior/ecology. Growing up, I was a frequent volunteer at my local animal shelter, where I was eventually hired and put in charge of caring for the cats and dogs that lived there. I would make sure all of the dogs areas were well cleaned and kept. Every animal would get some one-on-one time with me, where we would spend our time together doing whatever they wanted, playing or walking or just cuddling :) I also learned the proper technique to administer many types of medications through working at the shelter, so I would be more than happy to give any medications necessary while sitting your dog.
