I've taken care of cats for extended periods and helped dogsit many times with my roommate back in Denver. We would split dogsitting duties and it was so much fun. I'm a grad student, so I'm in and out of my apartment every day. I'm flexible with my schedule and can always build in time to take care of animals. Every night, I'm home and ready to pet-sit. We have cozy furniture and an unfenced place out back to run around, plenty of space to crate, and close to the bike path for walks.
