I owned a pug until the last year. And he was like a baby for me. Although, I love other dogs not less than I loved my own. Once, I had to host my colleague's dog, who was much bigger than mine, for a month. And it was much fun, to live with and walk two dogs! I am currently a housewife, so my time is very flexible. I am very responsible, and dogs and cats are my biggest passion. You can be sure they are taking care of in the best way possible. I don't see tis much as an income, but more like a pleasure. Will be very happy to help to take care of your friend when you are at work or out of town.
