2 grown ups, home full time we have 2 dogs of our own, although I’m not really sure you can count Trixie-she’s only 4 lbs., so a bit more like a Guinean pig than a dog. We lost our very senior dogs a few years ago, so we decided to do dog sitting to fill the void. park.p. And then I fell madly in love with a canine guest, a Havanese.. We can brought one home in a matter of weeks. His name is Puck, and he's a very friendly little guy who loves to play with other dogs. We have a 1500sq ft. Ranch house (3 steps up) in a quiet neighborhood, with a smallish yard, and a great patio for doggie sunbaths.. we have been dog sitting for 6 years now. We can administer meds, oral and injected. We walk them regularly There are squirrels and rabbits to chase (and maybe catch), and lots of time for ear scratches and belly rubs. It’s a comfortable, relaxed environment with a regular routine. About this sitter: Hi, I am a retired stay at home mom who is now using her nurturing ability to care for other people's dogs in my home. Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs all my life. When my husband and I bought our first house, the first thing we got was a dog, a Cairn Terrier, named Chelsea. After she passed we welcomed home Zelda, a terrier mix, and Nala, a lab-malamute mix. They lived til they were 17 and 15, respectively. Now we have a Havanese, and a Chorkie, who only weighs 4 lbs
