I invite your dog to be a guest in my home. I live in a quiet neighborhood. My house has a large, fenced in, back yard that your dog will have access to 24/7 through a dog door. The back yard is double gated for extra security. Your dog will have free run in the house or back yard. I like to take dogs out for walk about 3:00 M-F and mornings on the weekends. I grew up in upstate NY with 20 horses. My family owns Juckas Stables a horseback riding stable established in 1965. We always had a dog and cat. Growing up we also had rabbits, ducks, sheep and occasionally a donkey, pig, calf or llama. I've lived in Marin County since 1993. I worked at the Marin Humane Society for a total of 8 years. 5 years as an Animal Control officer, 1 year in bookkeeping and 2 years managing the spay/neuter clinic. I understand dogs well and will make sure your dog is comfortable during his/her stay. Contact me anytime. About this sitter: I grew up with animals. I'm sensitive to their needs and will take excellent care of your pet. I'm an active person that takes one hour hikes 4-5 times a week. Why I love dog sitting Growing up we had a poodle mix named Charlie. He was a great family dog. Then just before I went off to college at 18 I got my first puppy named Raisin. She was the runt of the litter and grew to be 80 pounds. She was a lab/Rott mix and lived to be 13. After her came Sheena, a Scottish Terrier I adopted while working as an animal control officer at the Marin Humane Society. I wasn't used to small dogs and hadn't planned to adopt her but after fostering her for 3 weeks...I couldn't part with her. She was 5 when I got her and lived until she got her "wings" at 13. After a year or two I adopted Tina. Tina is an easygoing lab mix that gets along with people, dogs and cats. She is such a doll. She's 9 now and still going strong. She likes doggie company.

There is also a small, covered fish pond.
