"Until one has loved an animal, a part of ones soul remains unawaked." - Anatole France I have grown up with dogs for almost my entire life. I have also have pet sat before and can provide references. I have a 5 year old male pug named Tyson. He is an only child and is very friendly and loves having buddies to play with (with that being said in order for me to watch your dog they must be okay with other dogs.) I would prefer to meet your dog ahead of time before any overnight visits if possible. As a dog owner I know what an important role they play in our lives. They are family. I know how vital it is to have someone responsible that you can trust to make sure they are kept safe and happy while you are away. And if I watch your dog I will make sure that happens and treat them just as I treat my own. My schedule can be pretty flexible, especially with enough notice. The more notice the better of course. I prefer to take dogs that can be left at least for a couple hours if I have them for multiple nights. I live in an apartment and have a little pug that gets along with everyone. He comes with me on house sits. When dogs stay at my place I take them out on leash to potty and walk them.
