my wife and I have raised six children and have had all sorts of pets over our lifetimes. We are retired now and would love to take care of others pets when we are not traveling. We have always loved our pets, but at this time in our lives, we would just like to take care of others pets instead of having anymore of our own. This will allow us to travel to see our own children in between these sitting jobs. We live in a small Historic town and love to walk the Antietam Battlefield everyday anyway, so it would be nice to walk with your dog. We do have our Grandchildren at our occasionally, and they are all also pet lovers. We do have a very secure and shaded back yard.
