After my baby girl passed, I have been taking care of my friends' dogs when needed, and it has been such a rewarding experience for me. I love dogs (obviously), and I know what it's like to find a good care for your 4 legged family member. I enjoy getting to know them and spending time with them, and I talk to them a lot. I like to take them out to a park where they can run free, so I prefer taking care of dogs who can be off leash. My dog was mostly off leash when allowed, and it was the most beautiful thing to watch her running around free as it should be. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I prefer house sitting to hosting them, since it would be easier for the dogs. I want them to feel as comfortable as they could while you are away.
