I was always raised around dogs and have experience dog sitting for mostly family members. I have dog sat large, high maintenance dogs, but prefer a more medium to little sized dogs. If your dog jumps or gets excited, it's okay! I'll never push a dog away. I am great at following house rules and if your dog has a strict meal/bathroom schedule I will follow it to a T, unless I am at work. I love going for walks and runs and will take your dog along side me if he/she likes that! When house sitting I will keep your home clean and respect it as if it were my own. And if you have cats, I won't mind! I give love to all types of animals!
