i'm retired, and thus very flexible. i'm quite reliable and dependable. i go for a nice long walk most days, and would love to have your dog keep me company! i've had cats or dogs throughout most of my life, and love both. most of my pet-sitting experience has been doing a favor for friends rather than something i got paid for. when my ex-wife goes away on weekends or vacations i get to hang out with my ex-dog. i miss him a lot! my ex-wife not so much, ha ha! i'm currently cat-sitting for a friend, one of them is skittish and scared around people but was on my lap today purring! i've spent a lot of time hanging around there while the other cat gets some time to sit outside in the sun. i hope to hear from you!
