I have dog-sat for friends of mine a few times, and enjoy spending time with those sweet critters (who love to snuggle, which I don't mind). I grew up having a family dog, Samson, who lived to be 17 years old, so I have a sweet spot in my heart for canines. I'm a compassionate, patient person when it comes to caring for dogs, and am happy to play with the more energetic ones – and help the less energetic ones get the exercise they need! I'm also careful when it comes to a special diet (like mixing dry and wet; timing). I'm a professional, with a full time, work-from-home marketing job. This allows some flexibility. I look forward to meeting your dog and spending some time with him or her!
