I love animals. I have a degree in biological studies and worked for the forest, parks and fish/wildlife service. I am also a returned peace corps volunteer who served in Madagascar. I currently have an office job in Fort Collins and will be away from the home from 8a-5p m-f. Depending on clients home location I could stop there at lunch time. I like to hike and play with dogs and miss having my own. I like dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes. I've worked was an animal care technician taking care of dogs and cats, including giving medications and nail clippings. I like active dogs who want to play fetch and go on adventures. I also like dogs that just want to hang out and be lazy and like companionship at home. The dog in the picture with me is my old dog that was recently put down. I miss having that friend but am not ready to commit to being a full time pet owner again quite yet. I have a 9-5 job Monday-Friday. I can do house sitting in Fort Collins area during the week and weekends. Walks and drop ins will have to be on a per case and day basis. I first try to replicate the environment the pet is normally in with it's owners. Then I follow any rules the owners have for the pet to not encourage bad behavior. I like hiking and going to parks so if a dog can do those things I will take it to do them. If not and we should just hang out at home we will do that.
