I am a 26 year old with a young black lab. She is my favorite thing on Earth. I have had her since she was 4 months old. I helped her get socialized, house train her, and took her through obedience training. As the owner of a high-energy breed, I know first hand that a tired dog is a good dog. That's where I come in! I can walk your dog for you and/or watch him/her while you're away. I know that it sucks to have to leave your pet when you have to go away, so I'd love to hang out with them to keep them company until you come home. I was a federal employee worked with children before starting my PhD program at The U- aka I've had several back ground checks and I'm cleared! I will respect your home and take care of your pet. My dog is like my child, and I will take care of your dog as I would mine. I am a trained behavioral therapist and have taken my dog through obedience training. I would be more than happy to work on potty training or anything else you're teaching your dog while I care for him/her. Why I love dog sitting I have had and loved dogs my entire life. We always had large breeds: samoyed, german shepherd, siberian husky, black and chocolate lab. I love playing with them, teaching them, and cuddling with them.
