My number one bucket list item is to have a dog of my own, but periodic work travel during the week makes that impossible. So, let me care for your pup and love them like I would love my own! I grew up caring for my family's dogs and now live vicariously through friends and neighbors, taking their pups for walks and watching them as often as I can. The most exciting dog-sitting gig I've had was a household of 28 miniature dachshunds when I was in high school, but since then I've mostly taken care of one or two at a time ;) For a fifth grade math project I literally designed the blueprint for a doggy hotel - I've been ready for this since age 11!
