I am worried that the owner of the dog I am currently sitting is not going to pick him up! Although he is wonderful and I have grown fond of him I can't keep him... The owner is already very late and won't respond to me. What should I do if he doesn't come back for his dog?

I have been in this situation before, and to be honest, at first I didn't think it was going to work out! I gave up one day and decided to just let them work it out (supervised, obviously) ! IT WORKED! They were best friends.. But make sure you give the same amount of attention to the both of them, making one feel lesser could be bad. Also lots of treats for your cat isn't a bad idea!

For myself, I am at a point in life where I want to have kids, but I am not financially stable enough to do so. So I have dogs as a replacement, but my fiancé says we can't have any more.. So I dog sit instead!! It keeps me happy and him happy. The money is nice too.
