The most crucial thing to remember when investing yourself in something is whether or not you really love it - if you don't, stop; but if you do, do it and do it well and in high spirits! I love a fluffy-faced creature, and I always have since I was a child and my first best friend was my Saint Bernard who snored louder than everyone in the house combined. I've had a wide variety of dogs myself ranging from Maltese Shih-tzus, St. Bernards, Australian Shepards to Huskies. I've happily house sat for people as they're traveled out of town before, as well as boarded the pets of a couple different friends. Yes it's a way to make a little extra cash, but even more than that it's a reward for me to be able to spend time with my favorite animal! - dogs. I can't have one full-time right now myself, so this allows me to enjoy that connection vicariously. Thanks for considering!
