I recently got married/moved from Illinois to South Jersey. I had a Yorkshire Terrier/Chihuahua mix while still living at home previously. We've had her for 7 years, since a puppy. I miss getting to pet my dog and play with her (and how she would just cuddle up next to you). Dog sitting/walking would be great not just for the money but because of getting to connect with a dog again. I am definitely a dog person, and my eyes light up when I get to hang out with a dog at a party (as I have found out this last Thanksgiving). I am looking forward to spending time with your dog. And also just the constant happy attention they give to you when they know you care about them.
