I have a flexible work schedule and work from home during the week so I can accommodate you’re routine whenever! My family had a couple golden retrievers when I was growing and I also have my own dog now. He’s a 5 year old Italian greyhound that I’ve had since he was 2 months. He’s very friendly and will definitely ware your dog out before he/ she returns home to cuddle with you. To be honest, my dog is the most needy animal i’ve ever encountered so I figured if I can handle him I can ~probably~ handle anyone else’s dog. I’m usually up around 6:30am every morning to take my dog out to pee and go on a walk. I understand small dog/ small bladder so ideally yours is trained but Ill take him/ her out as often as needed. Barking isn’t that big of a thing for me. I know a lot of sitters on here live in apartments but mine is very spacious and very dog-friendly. Most of my neighbors have dogs themselves. Detailed instructions for your dog is encouraged and will be strictly followed. I’m open to calls, texting, FaceTime, social media, and anything else that would reassure you that your dog is in safe hands and that we will all be a good fit!
