My family has always had dogs. I grew up with three Italian Greyhounds, then a Yorkshire Terrier, in addition to a Chihuahua/Pomeranian mix. I enjoy walking my dogs, as I would yours, because it's a great way for us to get some exercise. I don't even mind if the smaller dogs (as mine occasionally do) get lazy or tired and require me to carry them on the route back home! Previously, I babysat for families who also had dogs I cared for, and I have pet sat for a family who was out of town on a couple occasions. I am most experienced with caring for small-medium dogs. Barking is no trouble, so long as there's no biting! I generally have no trouble handling dogs. I am also willing to bathe your dog. Currently, I am free in the mornings until 10, except for on Wednesdays when I have a class that begins around 9. So early mornings are pretty open. In the evenings I am free beginning anywhere from 6-7. Weekends, and even weekdays, are very flexible should I be dog-sitting overnight. Lastly, if you have a cat, I can keep an eye out for them as well! I also have a cat at home, who's pretty low maintenance.
