I've been around dogs my entire life - in fact, I can't think of a single household in my family that doesn't have one. No matter the temperament, upbringing, personality, and friendliness of the dog, somehow I've always managed to quickly earn their trust and establish a level of comfort and safety for every dog I've cared for. I've been dogsitting (also house and baby-sitting) for over 10 years in varying capacities. I am extremely attentive to the specific needs of each dog and spend as much time with them as possible. I am extremely active and love to spend time outside with dogs walking, running, and playing. My availability varies as I am a graduate student, but will be as flexible as possible! I've got a few classes throughout the week and nightly rehearsals depending on the time of year, but can be in and out during the day pretty easily!
