- I am a speech-language pathology student and working part time - I am looking to make extra money and to fill the void of not owning a dog - I grew up with dogs and would LOVE to have a dog, but it's not realistic right now. However, I always tear up when my boyfriend says he got me a surprise....wishful thinking. - I have previous dog-sitting experience - I have Friday's off from work and class - I have cared for dogs of all sizes
