I am a dog lover. We walk everyday. I am also the designated dog sitter in our neighborhood. We can relate to trying to avoid bringing our dog to the kennel to keep him in his natural surroundings(house/backyard).

I have been dog sitting for the past two years along with babysitting! I love to take dogs on walks and give them as much love as possible while their owner is gone so they won't feel so lonely! I grew up with always having 3 dogs at a time so if you have more than one that's okay!
