I've been pet sitting since I was a kid, house sitting and walking my best friend's shepherd when his family went out of the country for the summers. Now I watch my boss and his fiance's shepherd mix service dog and brand new puppy off and on when they can't take the dogs on trips. Additionally, I picked up a job as a Veterinarian's Assistant while in school so I could play with the boarding dogs and cats consistently (sue me, I loved that Animal hospital). Thanks to this I am no stranger to dogs of every temperament and size. I love them all. I'm quite active and run with my dog all the time (a bouncy Australian Shepherd mix named Calypso (Callie for short), but we also spend loads of time just cuddling, so I'm happy to do what makes you and your dog happy and look forward to spending time with your dog(s).
