Hello! I have had pets since I was in the first grade, including dogs. I currently have been a dog owner of one small dog for ten years. I am interested in dog sitting not only for some extra income but so that my dog can have an occasional buddy! I have an easy going nature and most dogs warm up to me very quickly. My own dog gets along with most dogs as long as they are not aggressive! He is very active and loves to play. I require that any dogs I sit be house trained. I would actually prefer dogs that are NOT crate trained, as my dog is not and will not understand why he can't play with his new friends! On the weekends that I dog sit, I plan to be gone for no more than a couple of hours at a time in order to be attentive and available to the dogs that I sit.
