I am self employed and have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to watch you pup or pups. My dog loves to hike, so I'd prefer that your dog is healthy and obedient enough to enjoy exploring the forest and trails without running off or getting themselves killed. If the are not one for the woods, I have a fenced backyard that's suitable for playing. I have a very friendly 8 year old lab that will keep your pup occupied. She loves making new friends and we regularly go hiking and camping together. she is completely non aggressive and not dominant at all.. she likes her fellow dogs, kids, puppies, etc. if you're looking for a sitter who does more then just sitting around, I'm your guy!
