Hi there! For starters, my husband and I have always lived in a home where there are dogs and cats. I do dog sit my parents dog whose has diabetes whenever they go out of town. My husband and I love animals and we love the outdoors. We do live in an apartment so we are waiting to get a dog until we have more space (since we are wanting a bigger more active breed!) Our neighborhood is wonderful for pets- lots of walking trails and sidewalks and plenty of grassy areas! I am a nurse and work 3 days a week (three 12 hour shifts) so I am looking to do this on my off days from work to get my dog fix (ha!) and to add some income! We do have 2 lovable cats who are great with kids and other dogs. We love animals and I hope you would trust me to love and care for yours!
