About: I am a large tall man who can take care of dogs of any size. I have been dog-sitting for a few years and have never had a complaint. I hope you will give me consideration to be your dog sitter. thank you! I am a student with morning classes so i’m usually not free from 9am - 12pm. But I have a car and can be anywhere in town fairly quickly. I have a large backyard and plenty of indoor space at my home. I live with 2 other dogs that can be separated from your pet if needed. I recommend any dog spending time at my home be of a smaller size just so they won’t be able to escape my short fencing in my yard. That being said I welcome any pet.
