Part 2: In this episode, we continue (and conclude) our conversation with Nancy Bowden, an experienced dogsitter and Trustee of Greyhound Friends of New Jersey.

Being a greysitter––one who watches someone’s greyhound, usually while they are away overnight––is an interesting way to perhaps earn some money while enjoying an extra greyhound or two in your home. It’s also a big responsibility. Listen to this episode to help you decide if this is a role for you or if  you simply want to know how many greysitters prepare and what they do for your greyhound while you’re away.
