I love spending time and playing with dogs! Getting to know their different personalities is such fun for me! I have an irregular schedule so some days I am home the entire day and others I may work up to 9 hours- if this is the case I always make sure to come home and potty the animals at the midday point of my day. I have a small lab mix (about 30 pounds) who is 5 years old and she loves having play dates so dog sitting is ideal for us! Aspen does well with most dogs- if they are super playful she will usually just jump up next to me and hang out with the humans. She enjoys being calm and lounging with older pups, especially in the house, but will still play around with younger, more feisty pups every once in a while. I also have a second dog who is almost 2, he is still very much a 'puppy.' I fostered a litter of 10 puppies and their mother over the winter and ended up with my first 'foster failure' Ranger. He's a smart little guy who is doing great with his training and loves to play with new dogs.
