I used to live in an apartment and I watched my neighbors pitbull several times a week. The apartment complex had a dog park so we would spend time there, or at my apartment. I'm free basically all the time, I am a 'stay at home mom' companionship is nice since I'm home 24/7 and able to give my full attention to the animals. If I'm not avalibile, it would only be for a couple of hours, and I would let you know days before. I kennel and potty trained my 1 years old lab/ pitbull mix Athena and taught her how to sit, lay down, come when called, and play fetch. I have a huge backyard to accommodate any dog that comes into my care, along with toys to play with.
