While living in San Diego for 5 months this winter, I walked and house sat for many families who had dogs ranging in size, age, and temperament. I have also been babysitting for families with kids and dogs since I was 16 years old. I have walked my neighbor's dogs for years, dog sat for multiple families while in undergrad at UMass Amherst, and raised my own dog (now 3 1/2) since she was 8 weeks old. Dogs tend to gravitate toward me and I absolutely love spending my time with all kinds of animals, especially dogs. I have experience with small, medium, and large dogs. I also have experience with puppies ranging to older dogs.
