I have had 3 dogs (one of my own) since I was 10. We are planning to renovate our home in two years, so we are waiting to get another dog of own until we get though the reno. Dog-sitting is a joy to us! We have a fenced yard and live in a neighborhood with great trails. I love walking and running, and would be willing to run with your dog (I did with my last dog for years). I have 2 boys, ages 3 and 8 who enjoy playing with dogs. Naturally, your dog must be kid-friendly. We are great caretakers, with lots of trips outside, but we are not interested in dogs who have lots of accidents. I work in a school, but I am home by 4:00 every day. I am also off from June 23-August 8 during the week in the summer.
