I have had a dog my whole life. My husband has had multiple dogs his whole life. My yorkie Bailey who was 17 died a year ago and I thought watching dogs would fill that void and give me the flexibly to travel. My husband and I just retired so we are home everyday almost all day. I have a huge yard that is totally fenced in and secure. I have one daughter living home who is 22 years old whom is also a dog lover and would love to get a new dog but I just don't know if Im ready for that. Dog watching seems to be a great way to make everyone happy. My house is also rug free so there is no worry for you about allergies. I’m retired so I will be here all day with your dog.
