After four years of dog- and house-sitting experiences, I've become confident your dog and I will have similar goals. We both need to get outside, cuddle on the couch, and eat good food with great people. I have collected urine samples from pups with UTIs, cleaned up more vomit and poop than most human parents, and accepted 5am wake-up calls with aplomb. To date, no dog has given me a "pawful" rating. What's more, I like doing dishes and sweeping -- you'll return home to find it as clean or cleaner than you left! I am First Aid/CPR certified (human), own several pets of my own (4 cats 1 dog), and always have an emergency plan. I am a graduate student at Gallaudet University, so my schedule may not work for all dog walking needs, but my dedication is inspiring!
