I love dogs! I had a beautiful sweet malamute mix for 12+ years. I miss the company of a weekend hiking buddy and kicking back with her at home for a movie night. I loved to take her camping and hitting up a patio bar with friends for a pint. Pet sitting is a fun opportunity to care for someone's pet while they are out of town.... I think better than a 4X6 kennel. :-) I live really close to memorial park and allen parkway. I do work full time as an HR Manager, but my office is only 15 minutes away. So if you are wanting more all day hands on companionship during the week, I may not be the best option. I'm available during the week and definitely on weekends!
