4. Joanne W.
About: We are an active home with 2 pugs, a cat, a bunny and two kids ages 17 and 23. We love to walk the dogs at least twice a day and spend lots of time playing fetch and tug of war in the fenced in yard. We have been petsitting for 9 years now and really enjoy it! We always look forward to meeting new dogs and sitting for old friends. If your dog is older and does not enjoy walking, we will meet whatever needs he or she has. We are very flexible and work hard to keep our dogs well cared for! PLEASE NOTE: We are not able to accommodate large dogs and pit bulls. My daughter who is 23 will provide pet care in your home. She is a part time college student, so her hours are pretty flexible. I have a fenced in yard and two dogs to keep your pet busy and entertained. I also have a large crate if your dog is used to being crated at night.
