Literally since the day I was born, I have been around animals. I have ALWAYS had animals in the house and would feel empty inside if I didn't. As a child we had 7 cats, 3 dogs, fish, chickens, bunnies - the list goes on and on. I have been a vegetarian since the age of 11 because I love animals so much. I am not opposed to people who do eat meat or have different views by any means. I believe that animals are a lot like children and have to go off of their instincts and vibes that they get from people and you as the owner/parent know immediately if the vibe is not right. I myself have a very hard time trusting people with my animals so I completely understand the trust that is needed to provide these types of services. I currently live in a house with a gated front yard and backyard (both fully enclosed) and have a friendly 6 yr old chihuahua/papillon myself who would love a play buddy(s) About this sitter: Animals are my passion and my true LOVE. I can't even begin to explain how much love I have in my heart for all animals. I have a small 6 year old chihuahua/papillon and 2 cats. Working with or taking care of animals is my true passion. I have been working in the medical field for about 5 years and most recently as a Certified Medical Assistant. I am very comfortable with medication administration and know what it takes to care for all living things. I recently took a chance and am now doing dog care as a full time job and couldn't be happier. Animals give you that unconditional love like no other. They give me a certain kind of happiness within that is unexplainable and irreplaceable. I would be more than happy to care for your doggies and would ensure their utmost attention. Why I love dog sitting Literally my whole life; My mom was a vet tech for Pets Friend Animal Clinic in Sunnyvale Ca for 17 years and I can't remember a day in my life where I wasn't surrounded by animals and loved every second of it.
