I am happy to walk dogs, clean up messes, and administer special diets or medication to make sure your pet is happy while you're away—I know how I'd want someone to treat my pet. I grew up with a large dog and have always had large and small dogs around. I was the designated dog watcher growing up as one of the few kids in a retirement community with lots of dog owners. As an adult, I have continued watching dogs for lots of neighbors, family members, on Rover, and fro co-workers. I work from home and spend most of my time at home, so I can usually spend the whole day with your dog(s). I have time for breaks to play with dogs inside or outside. When I am away, it is usually only for an hour or 2 at a time and I have indoor cameras and a backyard camera. We often take 1-2 walks per day, even in cold weather. I have a big backyard and a friendly poodle-mix adult dog that is great with big and small dogs. My office desk is right by the back window, so I can keep an eye on dogs outside.
