I am a St. Pete resident who has 3 dogs (plus a cat who thinks he's a dog). Professionally I talk to people day in and day out as I am a Recruiter, but when 5pm hits I pick dogs over people in most cases. Animals are my passion and I couldn't imagine life without a dog or cat. I am very active with my dogs and the dogs that I am sitting. Frequent walks, visits to one of the many dog parks in the St. Pete area, plenty of car rides and tons of time in my fenced in back yard. Have special rules, training that needs to continue to take place in your absence, or maybe a special diet your dog needs to be on? No worries, I have experience in this. My own dog has a wheat allergy, so a strict diet is the norm in this household. Strong personality? Got that too, big dog in a 12 pound body aka my miniature pincher. I currently work remote from home which allows me to not have to crate dogs staying with me, as well as gives me the time/flexibility to go take care of others. I own a home in St. Pete with a fenced in yard (6 feet tall). When I'm not home, I allow free roam of the house unless other wise stated (I don't mind crating). As far as care, I will treat your dog just like it was my own.
