I'm an occupational therapist and work in a school system during the year and take the summers off to be with my three little kiddies. We are dying to have a dog in our lives but are not completely sure we are ready to commit yet. We dog sat last summer and loved the doggy we watched. My kids had a blast and the doggy had a blast too. This is the perfect opportunity for us to experience having and caring for a dog. We are a fun family with lots of love to share. We have a fenced in yard with lots of room for running. My husband and I both had dogs growing up so we have the experience and know what it takes to care for a dog.
