I love spending time with animals. I have a 3-year-old lab myself and often pet sit 2 adorable cats at their home. I have also watched geckos and parakeets previously. There is no problem if you're worried about my dog, I do not need to bring her to your house if I'm sitting unless you want your pup to have a playmate.
