I believe that all dogs, as living beings with needs, deserve positive social and physical outlets on a daily basis. I hope I can provide these outlets for your dog! I am an active and playful person who enjoys being silly with dogs and giving them whatever level of exercise they need. A hike on a nearby trail, brisk walk around the neighborhood, trip to the dog park or a game of fetch in the yard are all okay with me! I grew up taking care of my family dog, and I occasionally pet sit for friends. I also worked for a doggy daycare and I enjoy reading and learning about the history of dogs as our companions and about dog behavior. I am home full time so I have a very flexible schedule. I am reliable and detail oriented. I will be glad to communicate with you as much or as little as you prefer while caring for your dog, including sending pictures to give you peace of mind! I realize your dog is an important member of your family and look forward to taking excellent care or him or her!
