My name is Julie. We live outside of Milwaukee. We have a one year old male neutered mini Australian Labradoodle named Jordy. He is the sweetest pup - very much a people lover. He actually loves everyone! We have a large backyard area with an underground fence. He rings a bell to go outside for potty. We let him out alone during the day but on a long line at night due to coyotes sometimes being around. He is “kinda” trained to simple commands. I work with him daily to improve his skills. We use the “Do No Harm” training philosophy. He’s sort of spoiled. Not to make this too long I should mention he has a slight case of separation anxiety which I can explain in depth in a future conversation,
We don’t have any travel plans at the moment . We usually travel twice per year but Covid restrictions have grounded us! I wanted to introduce myself & see if there are any sitters interested in a possible collaboration - otherwise, and in the meantime I will continue reading this great information.
Sincerely, JUlie -Jordys mom

Hi Julie!
We’re originally from the Midwest (Chicago). There are plenty of sitters in the area that would be interested. Milwaukee is a great area and Australian labrodoodles are lovely!
Vanessa has given some great advice. Good luck!
