I have been dog sitting for 6 years now. I started by making drop in then I did live in. I would always take the dogs for runs in the woods and then follow up with fetch if they wanted to. I am a very calm patient but strong active person and dogs pick up on that. I love to train dogs. I do sublet as of right now but my housemates are cool with dogs coming by. They also really love dogs and we are adjacent to Kenmore Park so your dog will be outside. I also am an earlier riser / runner who used to take a chocolate lab on runs every morning when dog sitting and sometimes just when the owner needed him out.
