I am familiar with the ordeal of finding the right care-giver for my dog when I have to travel. So rest assured, your dog will be in great hands with me while you are away. I take dog-sitting/parenting seriously and look at it as a responsibility. I love dogs and have had dogs all my life. Yoda, my dog, and I are very active and outdoorsy. We love to go on long walks and runs. I also love to train dogs as a hobby and have done a fairly good job of training mine. I have been the designated dog-sitter for all my friends' dogs and have done this informally for ~10 years now. Very excited to welcome new four-legged guests in my home :-)
