As an avid dog lover, I've had the joy of living with three dogs in my life: a jindo, a labrador-chow mix and a beagle! As a recently graduated student, I haven't had the opportunity to have a dog in my apartment, so being able to get some pooch interaction would be great. I understand the rigors of taking care of dogs: I can feed them, give baths, brush them, and play with them- I'll even make sure they won't cause any trouble. I particularly love to run in my spare time, so I'll be happy to do something active (like running) with them. Why I love dog sitting I think I've never not been a dog lover. I've been around dogs from 5 (earliest I can remember). I've had three dogs over the course of my life- a jindo named Crystal; a labroador-chow chow mix named Cocoa; and currently, a beagle named Sammy. I've had experience caring for dogs both inside and outside the home, and have even dog-sat a couple of times (shih tzu) for my friend back at home - I like to rough around with my dog so I do have a preference for larger dogs, but I love all kinds of dogs. Currently, my dog Sammy is back at home with my sister and parents, but when I do go back home, I like to hang out with him and take him on walks and occassionally teach him new tricks.
