I have owned several dogs in the past but have more recently dog-sat for friends and family. I have always enjoyed getting to know dogs and the special bond that comes with a pet. Whether it's running and playing or needing a scratch behind the ears and a cuddle, time spent with dogs always seems to be uplifting and fun. I have a young family, and no dog of our own. I have had enough dogs in and out of my house that my children know how to play with and respect dogs. Your pet would be treated like part of our family, without hesitation. I already make daily trips to the park and spend time outside on nice days. Adding chances to throughout the day to care for a dog seems like a natural addition to life in the house.
