Since I no longer have a dog I really enjoy my granddogs. We get to keep them when our (grown) kids go out of town. I love to love on them when they let me, they do have a bit of attitude. I check on my friends cat when she is out of town. Audrey is puuuuuurfect!! We don't plan on getting another dog so I hope looking after your dog or cat helps to fill the void. I like being outside so if it's going for a walk or playing in the yard I'm in. I am a recently retired flight attendant with a lot of time on my hands and too young not to work. Pet sitting is the perfect job for me.
