Both your dog and I are looking for friends! Your dog will be happy knowing that our time together is about being outside and exploring together as we develop a relationship and become friends. I will allow them the time to sniff and explore their neighborhood or the park, give them a rigorous walk if they are the young or energetic type, go at a slow pace for the senior dog, or simply let them out in the backyard if they are the highly independent type. And if it's throwing the ball they look forward to, we can play together as well. In short, I'm flexible to the care and activity level your dog is looking for. I've been petsitting and housesitting with various dog breeds -- young and old -- and cats for nearly 20 years through a word-of-mouth recommendations. As a young person, I grew up with large breed dogs -- german shepards, rottweillers, labs, retrievers, etc, and numerous cats, chickens, rabbits, and horses. I enjoy getting to know each pet individually, including their routines and habits. If you don't see the availability you need in my calendar, please ask me, we may be able to work something out. I also have numerous references, and would be happy to put you in touch with any one of my current or former clients (the human clients that is), if requested.
