I have grown up with dogs, but not recently. I'm wanting to start sitting for short times to see if my husband and I can fit a dog into our lives full time. We are available part time. Weekends would work best, but if the dog is kennel trained we might be able take watch during the week. We have a large house and yard. No fence, but love to go on walks and runs. Almost all the neighbors have dogs. Your dog will always be supervised outside.
