I have been a pet sitting since I was 15. I enjoy walks myself and would love a dog to join me. I love animals but am unable to own my own pet due to living in an apartment. I love taking care of pets and since I can't have my own, I would love to help take care of other pets.

I know it's very hard to find 1) People that you can trust and 2) Someone who you really feel can meet the expectations that you have for your specific needs. I love being someone that not only the owner...
