I grew up with doggies my whole life. I love animals and would love to give attention to your pup in the instances you cannot. Pups need attention and love all of the time and it is nice when they can have that love and attention even when you regrettably can't be there to give it. As a dog parent this sets your mind at ease:) I love cats as well and would love to sit for your feline friends in addition to your dogs. In my life I've had fish, dogs, cats, birds, and a Guinea pig. Animals just want love and attention. If I can help bring that, plus exercise and maybe a treat or two ;) to their lives well it's a good thing for everyone.
