I especially love exercising with dogs, whether that means playing frisbee with them in the park or going on runs. I strike a good balance between affection and discipline. I'm also very reliable and friendly, and dogs usually warm to me quickly. My last dog-sitting experience was with a 2-year-old English Springer Spaniel who I walked twice a day and took on runs for over a week. He had a lot of energy, which I was happy to expel. I had a Border Collie growing up named Sunny, and my best friends have two small cockapoos that I watch often. One of them has a bad back, so I have to carry him up and down stairs. I've also had to give him oral medicine through a syringe. Overall, I'm happy to take on a range of responsibilities as long as you are open and communicative about what you expect and need.
