I love dogs and I'd love to watch your pet while you're away. For me, I see this as therapeutic since I don't get to own a dog myself since I am not always home. All I have is fish :) .I travel for work so instead when I'm home, your dog is welcome in my home. I am good with providing a good habitat for your dog. The one thing that I ask is that the dog is house trained. I enjoy going running so if your dog like to run, I can take for a good exercise. Lastly, it is important to note that I have a house to myself with no kids so there is more than enough room for your dog.
