I have been a dog person my whole life but traveling and military life kept me from providing the kind of life my dog deserved. Now that I am retired I enjoy traveling and writing books. I am trying to get into dog sitting as a way to supplement my income, spend time with dogs, and have a place to write. I am currently traveling the country in my van and will be willing to travel anywhere for a gig. I am a skilled trainer and can do some work with dogs who need help. I turned down two gigs last year because I got a job and was working full time. I have since quit that job to write full time and am back looking to get into dog sitting.
