I started watching my neighbors dog when I was 13. As time went on, my dog watching business grew as I took on more neighbors and clients (their dogs). The rest is history! I have also owned dogs all of my life but since moving to the city I've really missed having my own. I think this is a great way to make a little extra money while having fun! I'd prefer to take care of your dog within your home since they will be most comfortable there but am also available for daily check ins/walks. I will love your dog as my own. But not as much as you do, of course!
