I grew up with dogs starting at a very young age, and started taking care of my family dog overnight as an adult. I currently house-sit regularly for my sister and brother-in-law's large dog, and occasionally for my cousin's small dog. I'm a freelancer, so I'm usually home during the day, though I sometimes go out for a couple of hours in the evenings after dinner. I work best with dogs that require little to moderate exercise, and I do not like running, but love giving and receiving TLC from four legged friends. My most recent family dog had special needs, so I also have experience in that realm (blind, deaf, meds, anxiety issues, etc.). I am patient with misbehavior and "accidents", and will also brush and/or bathe your dog if requested.
