I love dogs. I am new to Seattle and far away from my parents dog, and my friends dogs back home in Boston. This seemed like a great way to get some time around dogs, some exercise, and provide a little additional income. I grew up with a wonderful family dog, that we brought home from the shelter on my 6th birthday. My parents raised me to be loving and responsible with animals. I am happy to go for runs, play fetch, care for your dog, provide belly rubs and abide by your requested guidelines for behavior. My parents now have their 2nd shelter dog, and she can be challenging at times. So I have experience with dogs that might be a handful. I know how much I loved my dog growing up and caring for my friends dogs. Leaving your best friend in someone else's care can by scary, especially someone that you don't know. I treat everyone's dog like I would my own.
