I have always grown up with dogs in the household. Now that I’m away at school I never get to see them. But when I did, making sure my dogs stayed happy and playful was something I did on a regular basis. I own a Rhodesian Ridgeback and Miniature Dachshund, both require a lot of atenttion and excersize. I’m usually always available to walk/run with your dog, and the same goes for drop-ins. I’m not very busy so house sitting wouldn’t be a problem either. I trained my dogs myself and I think I would be able to get along with any type of dog. Playing with my dogs is something I did a lot, I also walked them, fed and groomed them daily .
