I grew up in a house full if various pets from cats to dogs, birds and fish. As an adult I've always had at least one pet if not more my entire life. I've had quite a few friends and family have me pop in to take care of thier fur babies while out of town. I've done basic house training and such on numerous dogs over the past 20yrs. I've even helped out with my Stepmother's dog rescue, 4petsake, out of Anderson SC. My current pup is a sweet lab/pittie mix who I've done all of her training. I use positive reinforcement to get the pet to do what I ask. I always have an ample supply of treats and toys. I'm on SSI and don't have a normal job so my schedule tends to be very flexible. I would have plenty of free time to keep your pet company. I do not currently have room in my home to watch other people's pet but I'm happy to either pop by several times a day or stay at your place so your pets aren't lonely. I'm familiar with special needs pets that require daily medication, and am capable of dispensing such as needed.
