I grew up with dogs (first a Cairn Terrier, then a Beagle) and was a regular part of their care including feeding and daily walks. I have been doing in-home petsitting regularly for the past three years, for more than 20 different individual dogs including two Great Danes! Although I work during the day I am frequently around the house during evenings and weekends, and will make your dog's care immediately before and after work a top priority. I enjoy going outside for exercise and taking your dog for a walk is a great motivator. Most dogs like me very quickly and know they will get the same love and attention from me that you give them. Do note that I work 10 hour days during the week (M-Th, sometimes F, in Lake Nona), so this may not be a good setup for some pets. I generally need a few days’ notice before a job.
