Growing up without a dog, I've always lusted after everyone else's dog. As a result, I found myself often playing with strangers' dogs on streets and parks until I discovered I could satisfy my puppy-lusting by dog sitting for friends and neighbors. I love running (training for a marathon) and enjoy the opportunity to take the dogs out to the park for a jog or to play fetch. I'm pretty easy going and can manage most dogs, even the yappy ones that like to bark.
