I had dogs (rottweiler, shar pei, and labrador) and cats of my own for about 15 years. I currently cannot have my own pet, so I would love to be able to help someone else out and get to play with their fur babies! My son also loves animals and I would love for him to be able to meet new furry friends. He is always asking to visit my friends' dogs. I also *love* taking pictures, so you'll receive plenty of us having fun while you're away! I do work during the week, but I am able to use lunch breaks to let dogs out for a bit. I can also take care of them before and after work, too. I have a fenced yard in a nice neighborhood where I frequently see neighbors walking their dogs all the time, too.
