As a huge animal lover I would love the opportunity to care for your dog or cat. Having lost my Labrador a few years ago it's been hard living without my furry friend. Having the opportunity to care for your dog or cat would be a blessing for all because I will care for them as my own. I live alone and don't plan to sit more then one pet family at a time so your pets will be safe and have individual care. Please note. My yard is partly fenced-in. Until I know the dog and vice versa I require a kennel accompany the dog to my home. It's much safer for the dog. My current work schedule has me off every, Saturday, Sunday and Monday so those are my best petting sitting/dog walking days. On those days potty breaks would be as frequent as needed. Between Tuesday- Friday I work 10 hour days so potty breaks wouldn't be as frequent however I do have a lot of flexibility with my work schedule so with pre-planned boarding visits special arrangements could be made to accommodate more frequent potty breaks. Please go on vacation and have fun because your pet will be well cared for. When I had a dog several years ago I passed on a lot of trips because of a bad experience I had at a "pet resort". I don't regret my decision to stay home but Rover would have been a great option.
