I have grown up around dogs all of my life. I am currently at home during the day so a great use of my time would be to dog-sit. I love being outside and taking walks. My brother has a french mastiff and my sister has 2 cockapoo's who I babysat frequently. All 3 are different in size, which can help with the fact that I have worked with both large and small. Also, all 3 have different problems; 1 has allergies, another can't walk and the last has a thyroid problem. I have had to feed them daily pills, gone to doctors and rehabilitation centers, but more importantly I have gone through a lot with them that helps me feel more comfortable if anything were to happen or needed my help. If your dog requires a cage, please bring it with you on the visit/overnight. Otherwise I do not mind if they are comfortable without one.
