Should I ask out this girl, who's dogs I pet sit regularly?

[AuthenticAnon]

To set the scene a little better, she has just moved into my area after graduating from college, so educated guess it's she's around my age, and when meeting up with her to see her dog that'd I'd be taking care of regularly, we had a nice conversation for an hour or so. Had some things in common, and overall I had a pretty good vibe about her, at the very least I think we probably could have been friends if we met organically (ie not as a business relationship). I personally don't need the money if things go sour and she no longer wants me to take care of her dog, and presumably it'd be easy enough for her to find a replacement, so I'm not too worried about that. Should I make an attempt to ask her out, either as a friendly event, or as a date? And if so, how should I go about doing it without it being creepy or something?

say you've really enjoyed getting to know her dog and you're intrigued about her aswell and would like to get to know her more so would like to go for a walk with her and she can bring her dog so nobody else has to dog sit. But do you know why she needs a dog sitter? The fact that the dog likes you means youve already got a foot in the door.

She has long 10+ hour shifts. So she needs someone to take care/play with the dog while she is at work for a long time. And the dog loves everyone 😅

And it's just for an hour or so. Not the whole time

dont knock the fact that the dog likes you.
ooft 10hr shifts, yeah she definetly hasn't got time to find a guy then and you're right infront of her, go for it if you can handle a woman on a busy schedule.

When I say the dog loves everyone, I mean he goes up to everyone that I've seen and lays down to get pet. And I can definitely handle a schedule like that, I'm just unsure on how to approach the matter without being awkward or weird.

suggest it as an 'invite' that you're going and she's welcome to come along if she fancies it and leave your number with her on your way out.

Thanks for the advice! Fortunately she already has my number, which is how we communicate dates that I need to take care of her dog.

Simple.. Ask her if she's taken to you as much as her dog has.
