I have had my own pets since I was very young and went through puppy school training with my dog. I have also pet sat a variety of dogs, ranging from very young (newly born) to very old (15+ years) and also very small (10 lb or less) to very large (70+ lb) dogs. Currently, I am in between jobs, so my availability is pretty open. I also am a fairly active person, so I would love to take your dog(s) on walks and to the dog park - if this is an environment you are comfortable with your dog being in. I also really like cats and would be excited to pet sit both if you have them. I have done a lot of local organizing as a volunteer and for past positions. Because of this, I have developed good communication and people skills, which is helpful for working out a schedule that works best for everyone involved.
