I have had pets of my own for years (first a cat and then a small dog). I currently don't have any so I get my opportunities for spending time with animals through housesitting and dog walking. I have been housesitting for past year and a half through a different service and had great experience. I've watched many different kinds of dogs including puppies. I also tend to get along well and feel very attuned to animals who have anxiety and some reactivity. I have experience taking care of older dogs and pets that need medication. I am pretty active and love walking so I'm happy to provide a lot of opportunities for movement for active dogs. However, I'm just as comfortable with older/less active dogs who prefer to stay in and rest more.
