I have grown up all my life with a dog. I have frequently dog sat for neighbors as well as friends. I will love your dog like it is my own. Take it for walks and if you are okay with it out to restaurants and parks! I am a recent graduate from Marquette University. I work from home these days and typically gone for 4 hours at most during week days. If your dog is in my home or I am watching him or her I will make sure not to be away for more than 3 hours. I would love to have my own dog, but I don't have the money to do it right now so I will spend my time happily taking care of another's dog. I will treat them as my own.
