I have a calm presence about me and my home is the same...however, fun is to be had here! Bring your toys and treats. We will go on walks and play. I especially like trail walking. The house is never empty so your dog will never feel alone or anxious. I can hide meds in food like the best of them :) A little about me: As a small child, I grew up with a German shepherd named Yenta. As a pre teen, after asking many times, we welcomed a mixed shepherd/husky into our family. I mulled over names for such a long time - Bandit because we had a cat named Smokey- somehow we came up with just "Ralphy"...lol. Since our last dog left the family, I have not owned a dog myself. I don't feel that I can make that commitment just yet. I believe most dogs should be outdoors often and run off their endless energy. I just feel a natural affectionate for them. So Rover is perfect for me. I can enjoy your dog and but not have the commitment of having a dog for myself. Big, small, come one, come all :) I also enjoyed having cats around my childhood home. They certainly uniquely different from dogs. I cared for eight cats for a few months in a big, old home in Philadelphia in 2014. It was interesting to see them interacting together, as they are not "pack animals." About this sitter: I'm an animal lover, vegetarian, and love being out in nature…so that means your dog WILL get walked a lot. I'm a responsible person that has your dog's best interest always in mind. Why I love dog sitting I love having dogs visit me and giving them a home away from home. You the owner may be going on vacation, but they will certainly have one too! They are like people with their different personalities and habits. Since I am not a dog owner, it's a blessing to be trusted to enjoy their love and their company. Thank you
