Both of my kids are in school during the day now. I do live in an apartment but would be available to pet sit in my apartment. I do have one cat and she it's pretty easy going and doesn't mind dogs. I don't mind keeping a pet overnight as long as they are good around younger kids. My children are 5 and 3 and are used to being around both dogs and cats. I have a park across the street from my apartment complex that has a large fenced in dog park as well as a 3/4 mile paved walking path. Perfect for the more active dogs if they need more excercise. Let me know if I can keep your baby(s) safe or just keep them company while you are away.
