I live with(and take care of) 4 cats and a very friendly dog(pit hound mix). I pet sit frequently for my next door neighbor’s 2 dogs and cat when they go away for the weekend and longer. I go to their house every 3-4 hours starting at 8am and spend 2 hours each time with the dogs. One of their dogs is kept in a crate when no one is home. That’s why I spend so much time there. I want her to have as much time out as possible. My last visit of the day is at about 10pm. They go out in the back yard when I get there and again when I leave. I let them spend as much time as they want outside playing together and with me. I have more photos and videos of them then of my own pets. I send pix to their parents every visit. When their people are away, especially overnight, animals need more human interaction than a quick backyard “potty” break or walk. I love to play fetch and tug of war with them. Then we spend quiet time cuddling. I will treat your pets as if they were my own. Whether you’re out for the day or a week they will have a friend to take care of them. I will stay or visit frequently. Your choice. I have had animals all my life. Cats, dogs, ferrets, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, fish. I will care for any animal you have. I’m a crazy cat lady who loves dogs too.
