I have experience dog sitting, my girlfriend has 2 dogs. Her family does a lot of mission trips, and asks me to dog and house sit. I am great with dogs and the cold doesn't bother me on walks. Dogs seem to easily trust me, my girlfriends dog is very shy and afraid of men but after just 1 house visits he quickly trusted me. I am very orderly and clean, if you choose to have me house sit the couch is fine. I am a college student at Olivet Nazarene university studying criminal justice. I reside in Urbana Champaign during holiday breaks. I absolutely love dogs and house sitting. I am studying to be a police officer but during my four year degree it would be great to make some money taking care of dogs and house sitting.
