I've lived a lot of my post college life with dogs. I love meeting new dogs wherever I go. I have house and dog sat for many people for all different occasions, from vacations to pregnancies and have gotten close to the dogs I watched to the point they would follow me around as if I was their owner. Some of the owners of the dogs have even said I would get them in case anything happened to them, even over family members! Since I now live in an apartment that doesn't allow pets, I thoroughly enjoy getting to dog sit for my friends and whoever they refer to me. I never see dog sitting as a job but more of a fun privilege I look forward to. Along with dog sitting, I watch a lot of cats too!
