I began dog sitting for friends in 2012, and I have never had an issue with a dog in my life. My experience dog sitting includes caring for dogs large, medium, and small, and of all ages; I adore them all. My family has had dogs since 2004 (when I was ten), and in that time, I have been through everything: wellness, illness, hospice, and helped loved pets cross the Rainbow Bridge. I connect well with most dogs, and I take time to learn their likes, dislikes, and temperaments. If a dog is hesitant, I am patient and keep my distance until they are comfortable with me. I will play as long as they wish, and do my best to learn their favorite toys and games. Additionally, I am not afraid of the responsibility of making sure a dog stays on their schedule if they have one, including taking medicine and frequent potty breaks. Aside from dogs, I am a recent CofC graduate, with degrees in Archaeology and Anthropology. One of my interests is even the co-evolution of canines and humans! My schedule is extremely flexible, as I wish to have ample free time for research; the time I do my research doesn't matter as long as it's done, so I can attend to your dog at any time!
