I have grown up around animals all my life and love being around them. I don't like having to put my own dog in the kennel when I go out of town, which is why I enjoy dog sitting for others whenever they are in need. I don't just come over and feed your pet and take them outside, I stay for a few hours and play or just relax and pet them to make sure they feel loved and not alone while their owner is away. That is the whole purpose of having someone come into your home to watch your pet, to make sure they are taken care of and loved so you don't have to worry. I work at a High School, so Monday through Friday during the school year I have limited availability: before school, after school and in the evenings and all day on weekends. Holidays are usually open when I stay in town on others are traveling and need someone reliable to take care of their furbabies. My summers are much more flexible, since there is no school in session.
