About: I've house sat several family friends because they know how much I love doing it. I'm 4 hours from my hometown, yet families will still ask if I'd like to come home for the weekend to take care of their dogs! Yes, the extra income is nice, but it's less of a chore and more of an enjoyment for me. I try to volunteer at shelters throughout the year, walking dogs and such, and my schedule definitely opens up in the summer. I'm a teacher, and I'd love to spend my summer helping your family out and keeping your pets happy!
