On my off days I'm available all day which is 3 to 4 days a week. Flexible schedule with enough notice. I'm a dog lover and I have a natural ability to connect to even difficult dog personalities. Most important, animals are people too which means they need rules and structure and while I'm fun, I can also be alpha when need be. I've had two dogs and dog/house sat several times. Once only meeting the dogs the first day and sitting for five. So, last minute is not an issue in a crunch. I am very much an adult but with my childlike enthusiasm I can connect with dogs of all ages all the way from puppies to elder dogs and from temperaments of calm to over excited. I can also help with puppy training with walks.
