I have been dog sitting in my home for 4 years. The dogs I keep love to come here. I love them like they are my own. I have a secure back yard with high gates. I take care of them as instructed by individual owners. If they want to sleep with me I allow that. I will walk them in my neighborhood from my house. I had my own dog for 13 years but he developed cancer and died. I don’t have another dog of my own. After my dog, Benny, died, I decided to start dog sitting. I grew up with dogs and have always loved them. When they are under my care they are my family. They are safe with me at all times.
