Mostly, I just love dogs. Advanced petting and scritching skills. Took my brother's 2 year old golden doodle for four mile bike rides around the park every day for six months. Friends love having me dog-sit for them because I often work from home. I am comfortable with both large and small dogs, as well as young and old. I understand specific grooming needs (see doodle experience above) and am happy to follow any specific guidelines you have for reward-based training. But really I am just on here to get my puppy fix, set aside time for exercise, and make some cash on the side. As far as availability, I do freelance web development and set my own schedule, so can generally figure out timing that works for all parties.
