I am an animal lover, especially dogs. For last several years, I have been volunteering at a number of animal sanctuaries providing care for dogs, bunnies, chickens, turkeys, pigs, goats, cows and horses. I also enjoy outdoor activities including running, hiking and climbing mountains. Your dog will get plenty of exercises (or plenty of relaxation if your dog just wishes to chill with treats at my cozy apartment) and never get board spending time with me. As a traveller myself, I understand your dog companion can't always be your travel buddy and all you want and need is someone you can trust while you are away - someone who can make sure your dog is happy and cared for. You will never have to worry about your precious one again as long as he(she) is with me. Note: I offer pick up and drop off services within reasonable walking distance only as I do not own a car. More time to exercise for your dog :)
