My family has always had dogs and I love being around them and taking care of them. Outside of my family's dogs I have dog sat for a few friends of friends and have gotten rave reviews. I love hiking and walking, so I usually take the dog out often and I enjoy playing and bonding with animals. I believe dogs are very sensitive to humans and their voices and body language, so I try to comfort them by speaking to them and when not playing with them, keeping the energy calm and soothing as being without their human is generally stressful. I generally form strong bonds with dogs and enjoy learning more about them and their owners. I love taking care of dogs so owners can take care of themselves!
