I was a pet lover from the get-go, playing the dog in every childhood game of "house." I am a non-threatening size of 5'2" with a gentle presence that's perfect for those nervous dogs. My experience includes growing up with dogs and about 4 years of dog sitting for friends and acquaintances. Last year, I adopted my own dog and it's the best thing I ever did. My dog is a very friendly little girl, who gets along with everybody, but she will be around so I'm looking only for dogs that are fairly well socialized to stay with us!
