I am an avid dog lover and enjoy the company they provide. I have two sweet dogs of my own. One is a German Shepherd and the other is a Golden Retriever, so we have experience with big dogs. Growing up, my parents had small dogs and we have owned cats in the past, so I have experience there too. We have enough room for them to walk around the house and the yard is big enough for them to stretch. We live right across from a huge park which gives them a chance to see other dogs and get their exercise. I can understand the frustration of not being able to find a dog sitter and thought it would be a good way to help others out.
