I grew up with dogs (two or three at a time) and absolutely love them. Not only that but my father is a zoologist and I'm very comfortable with all kinds of animals. I'm an active person and will run with your dog or walk them if that's all they need. I would also love to bring them to the dog beach if that's alright with you. I think the best way for a dog to get out energy is to be able to run off leash and play with other dogs. I have lots of experience taking care of pets, whether they are my own or watching them for a friend. I also currently live with and help care for a little, sweet mini poodle named Zoe (she's not mine, though). I can't house a dog at my current location because unfortunately Zoe likes to be the only dog of this house. But, I would love to stay at yours to watch your dogs and other pets while you're away! I'm a student and go to classes mon-wed at cabrillo college. I am available mon-wed mornings and nights and fully available all other days of the week. Looking forward to hearing from you. All the best- Marissa.
