I grew up on a farm in the South where we always had rabbits, horses, pigs, cats and other animals. All of our dogs were rescues, many of whom we personally found wandering or lost without a home. Since moving to Hermosa, I've pet-sitted for many friends, neighbors, and even my former boss. My apartment is cozy, but very safe. I am good friends with all of my neighbors, who all love animals. My next door neighbor has a small, friendly spaniel who drops by regularly. I work only a mile from my apartment, so I'm always nearby. Mostly all who know me consider me an attentive, gentle, and responsible lover of animals. I feel I'd be an excellent companion to your pet while you are gone. Why I love dog sitting I grew up on a farm where we always had from 5-8 dogs, among many other animals. Knowing this, many friends and acquaintances have asked me to take care of their dogs over the years. About my yard I live in an apartment complex that is entirely enclosed aside from the driveway, which I live farthest away from in the building. There's plenty of room to go down and quickly go to the bathroom. Also, I live a block from the dog trail, so I can take any pups down there very easily for long, safe walks if needed.
