I have experience taking care of my own medium sized dog of 16 years. My schedule is quite flexible as I work close to home. I am very active and I'm happy to go on walks or run with them if they have the energy. I have experience pet sitting and staying overnight at homes. I babysat occasionally for a golden retriever from the age of two till he passed away at the age of 9. I have also been asked by co-workers to babysit their Australian shepherds as well as their lab mix for a few weekends. I am happy to get up early to let dogs out before work and late at night. I am comfortable staying at the homeowners house, however I would prefer to stay in my own home.
