Hello!! I have been around dogs since I was in elementary school and have had my own fur-babies for the past 6 years (shelter pups raised from 8 weeks old). My experience with dogs has ranged from snuggle-bug 10 lb dogs to high energy 80+ lb dogs that need to get out there and 'run' (i.e. play or literally run a few miles). For almost 10 years I lived in a household that has had more dogs than people. I am very familiar with watching multiple dogs at a time and catering to each individual dogs need. I am also familiar with over-the-top friendly dogs as well as shy dogs. I also don't believe in personal space with dogs - jumping, kisses, cuddling are all welcome. With that said, house rules will always be followed so if the dog isn't allowed on the couch - I will abide by the rules. I think of dog as a person's child. I understand how a dog-owner feels when they have to leave their dogs for a period of time (whether overnight or just longer than usual). Due to my own personal anxiety when I leave my fur-children, I want to offer my love and attention to anyone's dog that needs it. We have a fenced in yard and lots of options for walks in our neighborhood. We also have multiple sized crates if your dog prefers a quiet space. I am more than happy to stop by people's homes and visit their dogs in their space - as to keep the animal as comfortable as possible. Dog park visits, easy hikes, and other outdoor adventures are also not out of the question :). Thanks! Julia
