I'm a mature person who loves dogs but since I've have always worked long hours in an office I've never had one of my own. Now, I work from home, and while I'd love to get a dog of my own, right now I just feel like I'd rather take care of a variety of dogs. I've been a house/pet-sitter for years and have great references if you need them. I've taken care of everything from Dobermans to Boxers to mixed breeds and I love them all.
