I've had dogs in the household since I was born, and plenty of family and family friends that I've helped out over the years taking care of all kinds of dogs from rescue dogs, dogs that require medication, and even huge (but shy) Great Danes. I've had experience dog sitting for extended periods of time, cat-sitting, dog-walking, cleaning up after animals, feeding on a schedule and administering required medication, and providing lots of love. Aside from my actual experience with dogs (and I love dogs), I'm reliable and handle problem-solving well. When I'm in town my schedule is extremely flexible, and I'm very accommodating. I'm a student so I'll be going back to school at the end of September, and aside from a family trip out of the country I'm available and ready to take care of dogs.
