I've been around dogs my whole life and love it that way. I got my first job through putting an ad in our local paper as a pet sitter and have continued to watch friends, families and acquaintance. I've lived with 3 labs, a shiba, a cattle dog, a, schnauzer, and a papillon (not all at once) I mostly work from home with maybe 2-4 hour periods away from the house during the work day. I've been to multiple dog obedience classes with my own dogs. I have experience with shy /nervous dogs as well as hyper social dogs. I enjoy having a running buddy and typically run about 3 miles. Mostly I just miss having a fur baby in the house and would love to shower your dog in belly rubs and love.
