I've grown up in a household with dogs both large and small (a collie, puggle, and beagle mix)! I've always had a dog up until last year when my little guy passed away. I'm not quite ready to get another dog yet, but I love being around them in the meantime. The type of care I provide includes long walks or runs based on your buddy's preference. Along with lots of cuddles and belly rubs. I have experience raising puppies as well as adopted middle aged dogs. I'm used to dogs with varying personalities including calm cuddly ones as well as persnickety teenager types haha. I'm primarily available for early morning or evening walks on the weekdays as I do work full time. However, on the weekends my schedule is fairly flexible but varies week to week. I completely understand the anxiety of having someone new watch after and care for your pet. I don't have a ton of experience as a professional dog sitter, but I am able to provide character references :).
