Home full-time, can run with dog

Pet care experience

I am 24 years old who is in the process of applying to medical school. I would be great for this position because I am available on weekdays, at any time, and I am great with dogs. I cared for my two dogs, a Plotthound and a Bluetick Coonhound, for 10 years before college, and periodically dog sat for my neighbors at their houses. I was solely responsible for training my dogs and providing them the daily exercise that they need to be healthy. I am also in good athletic shape, so if your dog likes to run I can run with them for up to several miles. I love working with dogs and feel I would be a great, reliable companion for your pet doing activities like walking and exercising. I am excited to do dog boarding and dog-sitting.

Santiago has always been incredibly caring and passionate about all pets, but especially dogs. He always seems to have a great connection with dogs and has been very responsible with their upkeep. I have trusted and will continue to trust Santiago with my dogs.

I have been to Santiago's house many times, and saw that he was the sole caregiver of his dog, Charlotte. He loves her so much, and would take her out 3 times a day to run, play fetch, play at the dog park, and lounge on the beach. He also went out of his way to help out his neighbors, and have them tag along with him and Charlotte when they went to exercise. I have seen Santiago take on 3-4 dogs at once, while still making sure they have the most fun and get the most exercise. He would be great for Rover because of his dedication to providing dogs the best care and his hard work ethic.

Santi has taken care of my dogs multiple times. He loves Harper and Delilah like they were his own pups. Because he grew up with dogs, he is very knowledgeable and ever since he started watching Harper and Delilah, everything he has recommended (food, exercise, toys, etc.) has been on point. Santi is definitely my go to dog sitter and I cant recommend him enough.

Information Santiago R. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know what kind of exercise the dog needs, and what his/her activity levels are. I would also like to know how the dog gets along with other dogs, so I know how to handle a situation in which we encounter another dog. I do not have any preferences for breeds; I love all dogs!

A typical day

I will walk the dogs near parks by the owner's house, and if I am permitted, I will take them to dog parks. I value dogs having a lot of open space to explore and play. Also, I would enjoy playing fetch with the dog and running around with him/her. Finally, I would find lengthy and good trails that I would take the dog on.
