I work from home as a freelance illustrator, so I manage my own hours. This is a very good fit for taking care of dogs that need walking or boarding! I can go out with the dog for a walk at any times he or she is used to, and I'm always around to play and keep an eye on him or her. I don't have a yard, but I live near a couple parks, one of which is only two blocks from my house. It's a great place to hang out with a dog. I had a dog from when I was 7 until 2011, when he died at 13. Since then I have strived to spend time with the dogs of everyone I know. I absolutely love dogs. I've been a dog-sitter and dog walker many times.
