I grew up with dogs and cats, don't currently have any because kids are expensive and I don't want to get a dog and then have to re-home it. My kids love their grandparents dogs and cats! I have baby sat my mother's neighbors dog including feeding, letting the dog in and out and going for walks and playing fetch for 3 years! I also have stayed at my friend's mom's house to baby sit her 3 dogs and play with them and feed them and let them sleep in bed with me. I am a stay at home mom so I'm home around the clock! I do have two children one is 3 and the other is 9 months so I would like the dogs I watch to be good with kids as well!
