I believe that if you have a passion for dog sitting you have to be flexible, trustworthy, experienced, insure, reliable and have a genuine love for pets. I myself have a toy poodle who is 8 years old and I've been taking care of him since. I know the pros and cons because I've had many experience with my dog. I give really long walks (20-30 min a walk) just so when they get back they can nap throughout the day. I can walk your buddy as much as 3 to 4 a day, just so they have less time to worry about their love ones and to get them distracted. I always take the time to get to really know your pet and do the best to satisfy them!
