I've owned and raised dogs my whole life, from lap dogs to energetic labs and cow dogs. Since middle school/high school I have been a frequent dog sitter for family friends/acquaintances, providing both drop-in care and stay-in care at the clients' homes. I am a fervent dog-lover, providing my best care, love, and attention to any dog put into my care. I have experience caring for dogs with particular needs such as exercise, medication, special diets, training needs, behavioral/social concerns, etc., including my own pets. I am generally available weekends full-time, and have a weekday schedule that will allow ample time to be dedicated to the care of any dog put into my care. I spend regular time being active and outdoors, and would be able to care for any dog's needs in means of exercise from walks around the block to longer excursions.
