I have always grown up with dogs in the house, but having recently moved for grad school I am currently petless. I love dogs though, and would love the opportunity to spend time caring for yours as I am unable to have pets in my current home. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and I am unafraid of your giant Great Dane jumping on me to say hello. However, as much as I love the doggy affection, if you are trying to train your dog not to jump I will try to keep them from doing so. I don't have much experience training dogs, but I have loads of experience loving them so if that's what you're looking for I hope you consider me :) Also, in terms of availability, my Friday's through Sunday's I should be available for all day/overnight care. However, Monday-Thursday I have classes and an internship to attend. If your pet is able to handle about 8-9 hours a day alone I would still be able to provide some care throughout the week.
