I have always had pets of my own and am the go to sitter for my family. Everyone in my family has pets and I have house sat for my siblings and other relatives taking care of their kids, dogs, and cats. My personal pup, Diamond, is training to be a service dog and I work with dog trainers and have experience training pets myself as well. I was able to teach my dog to loose leash walk, talk with speech buttons, and with some trainer assistance she has perfected 36 commands and two tasks.
