I teach school and will be home around 3 every day until June. We are home on the weekends. We love animals, and feel that we have the time to spend walking, and playing with a pet. We do not want to own a pet at this time since we lost ours. We dog sit for friends and love the part time responsibility for now. We live on a cul-de-sac so there is very limited traffic, and have 5 acres. I feel dog sitting is a good way to enjoy and spend time with a pet. My daughter has done this, and we all have enjoyed the experience and time getting to know the dog and the family. We are very caring and loving, and look forward to meeting our family.
