I have been dog sitting based on word of mouth recommendation for the last year in the city of Pittsburgh. I recently moved to Philadelphia for medical school. Most of my classes can be viewed online, so I am pretty much home full time. My boyfriend trains dogs professionally (service dogs, protection dogs, hunting dogs, and personal pets), so I am constantly around dogs and helping to train them. I cycle long distance, and usually take a dog or two with me so they will get plenty of excercise with me! If your dog is animal aggressive, please let me know and I will not sit any other animals while caring for your dog. If your dog is crate trained (especially for sleeping) please let me know. I have an SUV and can pick up your dog and any crate you would like me to use. I also have a large sized crate available in my home. If you feed your dog a specific diet please let me know. Most clients provide their own dog food when I sit for them. I will not sit animals that are not house trained or have serious medical complications. I look forward to spending time with your animal!!
