I've cared for dogs and other pets of friends over the years since I was a teenager, and now post grad school am hearing about this app. Specifically, my experience comes from playing with/walking dogs of friends, and maybe 5-6 house/pet sittings over the years, for about a week or two each. Attuning to people is my professional training, so I'm responsive to people needs too. :) My schedule is currently flexible, and I enjoy being outdoors; I run and practice yoga fairly regularly too, so am open to getting some exercise with your dog. In general I value kindness, honesty and reverence for life, and try to grow in those qualities as well as appreciate them from others. Thanks for reading; look forward to hearing from you. --chris
