I have had pets since I was I was very little and have always treated them like family. At home I have a 9 year old German Shepherd, Athena. Here at college I have recently adopted a Catahoula/Pit puppy, Cleo. She is 10 weeks old and is learning so fast! Walks: During a walk I would let your dog go at their own pace, and even run with them. I am good with keeping dogs focused on walks, keeping them out of trouble and cleaning up after them if they make a mess. House Sitting: During a house stay I would be willing to stay at your home if you preferred. I do have school so I would not be there all day, but I typically only have classes for 3-4 hours Monday-Friday. When staying with your pet I would follow all dietary preferences, cook for them, give them a bath, etc. Boarding: I have two animal-loving roommates who share a puppy with me in our house near campus. My room is large enough for a crate/kennel, I have a fenced in backyard (6 foot), and plenty of room for them to run around outside and nearby parks to walk them to. My dog is very friendly, loves to play and does very well with other animals.
