I love dogs but don't have one of my own. I have always watched dogs for my friends and family when they go away on vacation. It's the perfect mix for me to get my puppy love, licks and cuddles but not have the full-time responsibility of me owning my own dog. I'd love to offer the service of having pet owners feel comfortable leaving their dog(s) with me while they are away for a period of time and know their pets are going to receive lots of TLC under my watch. I live in a great neighborhood that is ideal for taking dogs on walks. My house has a fenced in yard, so the dogs would have room to run around and have fun. I am also open to staying in a family's home if they prefer for their dog(s) to stay in their familiar surroundings while the owners are away. I am a teacher, so summer months I am home the majority of the day, so multiple walks are possible, as well as lots of opportunities for the dog(s) to play out back. My schedule during school months (Sept - June) has me out of the house by 6AM and am home by 4PM.
