I am reliable and trustworthy! I have three families that I regularly housesit/dog sit for through out the year, and am often picking up occasional jobs from people who I've been recommended to them, from either one of these families, or someone who knows that I housesit/pet sit. I love dogs, but not in a place in life where I can have my own, so I live vicariously through loving other peoples pets! I try to maintain as close to their normal schedule as I can, for meals, walks, medications etc. In addition to just caring for your pet, I am happy to do a few extra things such as water the plants and bring in the mail and paper. I'm a teacher, so during the school year I have less time available, and would on most week days be gone 7 hours at a time. For some families that is fine, others prefer to send pups to doggy day care for the day.
