I have had a dog in my life since elementary school, and knew I needed a dog of my own as soon as I finished my undergraduate education. I then adopted a dog, and we lived with two others. We then moved to England and played fetch in the park every morning with the English pooches. Back to Utah, adding a [human] partner to my life added another dog. We own our house and have fully fenced yard with access through dog door. We frequently watch friends' dogs. I am happy to take your dog running, hiking, mountain biking, and skiing, but am equally happy to just play in the yard. I love all animals, but especially all dogs. I know your dog and I will have a good time! I have also had cats my entire life and am currently human to two. I would be happy to check in on your cats, play, scoop poop, feed, etc. I work full time Monday-Friday and mostly from home. My schedule is flexible! I will block off any days I will be away for the full working day and/or on a trip. My home: fully fenced yard with six foot vinyl fences. Dogs have access through a dog door. Can crate dogs in the house and/or separate with barricades as needed. Can care for dogs in your home however you need. My two cats are separated from the dogs, so there will be no interaction there unless I explicitly let them out.
