I've been a dog sitter for friends and family for a number of years now. Both taking them in my home as well as house sitting while caring for the dogs. When I'm with four legged company, they are my priority. We go on all sorts of walks, hikes in regional parks, swimming, fetching, etc. if time and behavior allows - but all in all - I treat them like they are my own children. I've made it work with my full-time work schedule over the years, and always have time for the dogs. Growing up with many animals, and now being able to be surrounded by them is such a great feeling. I love that I can care for so many of our furry friends.
