Both dogs and dog owners like that I am very good at sensing boundaries, with both dogs and people. I know when to keep my distance, which is good for more anxious dogs. I love dogs and I'm very patient, so I get on well with young puppies. I've been watching after and walking pets of friends (and their houses) for years now, while they're out of town or at work. They've all been satisfied or more with the care I took of their pets and homes. I divide my time between working my part time job, studying for my certification exam, and going to the dog park with Mango. The dog park is almost as much fun for me as it is for him. I’m currently freelancing full time, so I make my own schedule and can easily accommodate any schedule. I live with my partner, so can leave Mango at home during daytime and overnight housesitting (unless he’s requested for a play date! He’s very friendly and energetic.). I’ll keep your pet to their regular schedule and habits as best as I can! My dog is fully crate trained, so I’m familiar with that, but also don’t mind if your pet wants to sleep in the bed with me.
