I have neighbors who foster dogs and are a very busy family! For this reason, I have a lot of experience sitting both cats and dogs for extended periods of time. We have been neighbors for over 10 years, so I have plenty of years worth of experience, even though it may not be consistent as they only go out of town so often.
