My father used to own an American Kennel Club registered Dog Kennel for Great Danes and English Mastiffs which I was raised on and worked for all up until I relocated to Pittsburgh for school at CMU in 2011. I started at a very young age with general upkeep (feeding, watering, grooming, walking/exercising), then as i got older I began assisting with medical trips to the veterinarian to start learning the details of their health. After interning for a veterinarian, I then began giving the canines their medications, working in the maternity ward and assisting birthing sessions. I have a lot of experience with all breeds and sorts of dogs. If you have it, i'm sure I've seen it at some point! Now that I own my own business and work from home, I love spending time with new animals and helping a family whilst doing so! Not only is it extra cash for me, but I thoroughly enjoy the companionship. In my lifetime I have owned, pigs, horses, birds, reptiles, small mammals, you name it! I'd love to help anyone out! Why I love dog sitting I was raised around dogs my entire life. I have been a dog lover since I can remember. I guess you could say I had no choice! :) About my yard Unfortunately I do not have a backyard of my own. There is a large public park area downstairs in my apartment complex.
