Through out my entire life having a dog as a companion was always very important to me. When I was in middle school I spent many hours every week volunteering at my local animal shelter, where I learned about dog behavior and different approaches to training. I love that dogs are loving and affectionate. Right now I have a 8 year old collie mix named Barney, who on occasion I have needed someone to watch him and luckily have people to do that for me. I'd like to be that person for you. I will be able to provide love and care to your fur baby while you are away. I currently have a full time job but will have a lot of free time on my hands on weekends and the holidays.
