My boyfriend and I adore animals, especially dogs. Since we’ve been together, we’ve talked about having a dog. But for which type of dog would we go? How would a dog fit into our lifestyle? Are we sure we want to take on the responsibility? If only we could test it out.

And then my partner proposed: why don’t we start dogsitting?

That’s it! I work from home anyway, so a bit of company wouldn’t hurt. It would also motivate me to go out and walk three times a day. As a bonus, we can answer all the above questions.

I created a profile on Pawshake, an app similar to Airbnb for dogs.

Within a week, we had our first client, the Pomerian Gucci. Then, we had our first long-term stay, Toby. Before we knew it, our apartment became a dog home with raving reviews. Favourites returned, and happy dog owners loved us.
