I love dogs, but do not have one since I'm living in a tiny apartment. I have dog sat for friends in the past when needed. I've enjoyed it, so I decided to see how many new fur friends I can make. I don't mind staying overnight for multiple nights if necessary. I will send you as many updates and pics of your fur baby as you'd like during my sitting time. I am a teacher looking to make some extra money over the summer, while I'm out of school. I teach first grade, so I have a tremendous amount of patience and can deal with messes. I don't tie shoes, but I don't see that posing a problem while taking care of your fur baby.
