Hi! I'm a dog-loving 3rd year PhD candidate who would love to take care of your pup. I do not have a dog, but am sitting to earn extra money to have my own dog someday. Very flexible schedule and can bring the dog to work if they have separation anxiety. I grew up with two Maltese dogs and have lived with and taken care of a Sheepdog and American Eskimo (~3yrs). I understand you've spent a lot of time training your dog and I'll be sure to follow the routine and house rules that they're used to. I live on the first floor of a house and am right next to East Rock park, so your dog will definitely get their daily dose of exercise. My dogs have been family, and I'll be sure to give them the love and attention they need!
