You need someone who will care for your dog as much as you. I'm your guy. I grew up with dogs from birth through high school. After moving to Seattle 9 years ago, I've worked with several families watching and walking their dogs while they've been out of town. In total, I've spent 5-6 months (the families often go on multi-week vacations) watching various dogs. It's a joy for me since my partner and I can't have dogs in our apartment, and I've yet to meet a dog that doesn't like like me. I walk them, feed them, play with them, and all the pups had their own unique quirks/needs. My availability is flexible for dogsitting. If I'm in town, I'll be glad to help.
