I've LOVED dogs from a very young age. Their friendly smiles that can brighten your day - their curious tail wags that entice you to play - and their ability to love unconditionally through any and every circumstance. Dogs are simply the best! I started dog-sitting in college when others would ask me to stay in their home to watch their pets while they were out of town. This provided a lot of comfort for them and their dogs, and selfishly I loved being around their pups for the snuggles! My husband and I have done a lot of dog sitting for friends and family in recent years and have loved hosting their dogs! We both grew up with dogs in our families, and so you can rest assured that we will treat your dog like one of our own! Our dog Lily also makes a fabulous host and makes sure to show them all the best sniffs in the backyard, she shares her toys and tries to start games of tug-of-war, and she welcomes them to relax on the couch with her after a day well-played. I do have a job outside of dog-sitting, but it is very flexible and allows me to work from home majority of the time. You can rest assured that your pups will spend majority of the time roaming about, playing, or sunbathing. :) It is helpful if your dog is crate trained, but it is not necessary.
