As a part of my day job/career I work with Guide Dogs for the blind, so I REALLY understand how much training and activity that any dog needs (not just a working animal)! I'm a live-alone dog owner myself, and he always comes first. My dog Calvin and I go hiking together all around Colorado. I love bonding with dogs, playing, hiking, or just relaxing. If there are specific training you need me to keep up with during our time together, I will oblige. I am also experienced in crate training, potty training, and commands. Your best friend will be treated just like my own- lots of love, pets, and cuddles! I'll look forward to learning about your dog's unique needs and quirks, and will do everything I can to deliver them the best experience that I can. I adore any size and breed of dog, especially bigger doggos! My job is extremely flexible and provides me opportunities to stop home midday almost every day. I also have every-other Friday off. House Sitting: I would only be able to do this if I can bring my dog to your house. My dog is very mellow, but I get that some personalities don't mesh, so I would happily do a meet and greet beforehand! My home: I do have a small fenced-in area for quick potty breaks, and enjoy taking my dog (and yours!) for 2 walks per day. I have 2 bedrooms, so the dogs can have their own space. I do allow my own animal on the furniture, but will keep yours off if you don’t want to form that habit.
