I've grown up with a dog by my side my entire life. I've had a Golden Retriever, Bernese Mountain Dog, and currently a 140-pound Newfoundland. While I've been around big dogs my entire life, I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. I'm always staying active, and love walking, playing, tug-of-war'ing, petting, and anything else you want for your doggie! I've cared for neighbors' dogs, and even did a month-long stint in Australia house- and dog-sitting for a good friend on the Sunshine Coast. She had a Pointer named Yoda who had more energy than any dog I've ever met to this day. Needless to say, I had to be very hands-on and constantly walking or playing fetch or chasing him around the yard. This just helped me get to know Yoda even better, and it was very hard to leave him. I would love to meet your furry friend and keep him or her company while you're away!
