**Home full-time and schedule is flexible.** Our apartment is conveniently located on the first floor with a semi-private entrance, which makes dog walking a breeze. Your dog will have full run of the living/dining area, as we close off the bathroom/kitchen and bedroom. Your dog is allowed on furniture. We’re also close to the Pier 6 dog run and Hillside. We’re very big on positive reinforcement and have done several obedience/agility classes with our Mini Australian Shepherd, so if you’re looking for someone who won’t backtrack your dog’s training, you’re in good hands! In addition, my boyfriend grew up with 2 rescues (one passed and the other is now 15!) and I've dog sat and have lived with very energetic dogs. Through dog-sitting, I've found it rewarding to be responsible and to see the results of training them. (I sometimes binge watch Zak George videos on YouTube — too much?) We have a Mini Aussie that’s very friendly, energetic, and gentle with toy sized dogs. Great companion for medium-high energy dogs. However, if you have an extremely low energy dog (eg. French bulldog), we’ll regretfully have to pass! Our Mini Aussie is so friendly, but it would be best if we could do a meet and greet first.
