I grew up with a dog for 14 years and have been waiting for the right time to get my own. I walk/hike outdoors whenever I get the chance and would love a buddy to do it with! I am an excellent dog hugger and give endless love. I think you would be hard pressed to find someone who loves dogs more than I do. I currently flexibility on weekdays and weekends which would allow me to meet your scheduling needs. I am confident with all dog sizes and have had experience pet sitting my friends and families dogs. I have taught kindergarten and first grade for several years so patience (with any dog age) is something that comes easily for me. I am not afraid to ask questions in order to make sure I am giving your dog the best care possible!
