I have been a dog person since my first puppy at the ripe age of 5. I've been house sitting and pet sitting since an early age. I have a spunky, 1 year old lab at home who has never met a stranger and loves having visitors to play with during the day. He does cheat at fetch, always getting a running start, but he plays very well with others. We're in a very walk-able area and usually take 1-2 mile walks every day. There is a dog door from the kitchen into our fenced-in backyard that is only accessible when someone is home. We're also close to several dog parks for extra exercise, if we need it! My office is only 10 minutes from the house, so I'm home every day for lunch and can make quick trips during the day if necessary!
