I have grown up around dogs (mainly terriers, german shepherds and alsatians). I enjoy training and playing with them, I think its quite fun to see how each dog interprets different things. This year, I have become the trusted dog sitter for a couple of my friends and colleagues and have enjoyed it. The dogs seemed to have enjoyed their time, and I would love to do it more frequently. I work full time but have a flexible work-from-home schedule. I live with my sister, and we are relatively active throughout the week on the weekends. We have a lovely park two minutes from our apartment where we often go for walks. We have an open-plan apartment, we usually let the dogs sleep in the living room, near the sofa. This allows them enough space to wander around during the night if needed, but still keeps them safe from any hazards.
