I do not own a dog currently because of my frequent traveling & housing situation, but really miss having one. I am a proud owner of a calico cat named Effie! The majority of my personal pet ownership experience has been with labs, pits, and smaller dogs, but I am not afraid of larger ones :) I have house/pet sat for a couple of my neighbors for about 8 years now and always look forward to it. I cannot host a dog, but am happy to drop in or house/dog sit while you are away. I always treat other's homes and animals with the same respect I would expect from others in my home. I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful dog soon!
