I started sitting/boarding dogs after my little guy went to Heaven and my neighbors asked. I've found it to be a win/win/win for all. I live in the Mission, first floor loft, near parks. For the elder dogs, there is a small park on the premises. I also work at home and have a close eye on their needs. Should anything require medical attention, I'm located two blocks in each direction from excellent facilities. Puppies are welcome if house trained. Thanks! Why I love dog sitting I had a wonderful cat for 21 years. After she was gone, I took some time to think about what creature I would share my life with. All I knew was that I would know when I met he/she. Two years later, Winston stopped me in my tracks. He was a puppy rescue resembling Charlie Chaplin. Believe me, he had acting skills. So, 12 years later, Winston's time was up. Afterwards, my neighbors asked me to watch their dog, Toto, while they were away. Toto's a little thing that jumps over 4' vertigal everytime she greets me. The feeling is mutual. That's when the dog sitting began. I've been having my four pawed guests for over a year. Everyone is happy. Meet my pets No other pets. Just love the mutual companionship. I mostly work from home. I have dog blanket (washed between, of course) and we walk and snuggle. I definitely pay attention to my guest's film reviews. About my yard My studio is in an artist's building that takes the whole city block. We have a small garden that is gated. It has a small slope and is about 30' by 15', with two large trees. Two blocks away is the City park, Franklin Square. I do not let my dogs off leash there, but the area is larger for a longer romp. My experience administering medication Pills, yes. Injections, no.
