I've had dogs in my family my whole life, and I’ve been blessed with my very own pup, a Maltese-Bichon mix named Zoro. He's the sweetest dog imaginable. We live in a pet friendly building/neighborhood and frequently visit the dog parks. Your dog will get the same love and affection I give to my own (lots of snuggles and kisses!). My apartment is dog-friendly, so pets are always allowed on furniture and crating is not necessary. My job is flexible (I'm often able to work from home) so if your dog needs more than three walks/extra attention that can be arranged. I'm comfortable with older dogs and giving oral medications. As a house-sitter, I can ensure you I will leave your house cleaner than you left it and you will come home to a happy, tired pup! Please note I typically do bring my own dog with me on house-sits but as you can see in my reviews he’s hardly noticeable!
