Hey! My name is Katie, and I have been a dog owner my whole life. My family has always had dogs, and at my parents house in Virginia, we currently have one dog, a giant 120-pound chocolate lab. At my house in beautiful Carlsbad, steps from the beach and Carlsbad Village, my husband and I have one dog, a dachshund-Jack Russel mix named Kali. I love all dogs, and would have 10 if we had the room. This is a great opportunity for me to get out there and play with all the dogs! I have experience walking small dogs (10 lbs) all the way up to large size dogs (100 lbs) and I am a very responsible dog walker. I know my dog loves to play tug-of-war and fetch with me, so I am sure your dog would love it too! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover my whole life! My family has always had dogs, and I can't imagine my life without them. We love going to the dog beach and going to long walks and bike rides! Kali (our 10 year old pup) has many doggie friends in the neighborhood that she loves to play with when they all get together! About my yard We have a small fenced in yard, but Kali gets walks mostly, and likes to sun herself on our small patio.
