I have had 5 years of experience with dog sitting for a week at a time. I grew up with dogs but just have been dog sitting for the past 5 years for co-workers, friends, family, and family friends My dog Meatball loves other dogs and having that social interaction is great for him. He just got trained to be a pet therapy dog so keeping him up to scale on his tricks and behaviors are good, especially when interacting with other animals. I love dogs, love to snuggle with them, and love the joy they bring. I do work during the day but can take them on walks in the morning and when I get home. I can sent pictures each night with updates as well.
