I have been a dog lover and owner for most of my life. I lost my beloved dog last year, and since then I have been dog sitting for family and friends. I so miss the company of a furry friend, I especially miss having a buddy by my side when I go on walks. I also miss the unconditional affection and general companionship of "man's best friend" and I believe that until I make the commitment of getting another dog, having the company and caring for other's pets is a perfect way to enjoy the companionship and love of a pup, in addition to helping the owners find a loving person and home to care for their furry family member as an alternative to boarding. To me it will be a win-win situation!
