I grew up with family dogs (Dalmatians, Labs, Retrievers), and have loved them since I had my very first pup as a little girl. I live in a great, quiet neighborhood walking distance from a park! My job has allowed my schedule and availability to be very flexible. I have experience caring for many families dogs during their travels and have only received positive feedback. I would be happy to take your dog on a morning-mid afternoon walk, take them for a hike, etc.! I am very athletic and don't like to be cooped up, so naturally I will make sure your pup isn't either. I look forward to meeting your pup!
