I've been an animal lover my entire life! I've been dog-sitting for friends for well over 10 years. I love most animals more than I love some humans! :) I'm flexible, trust worthy and safety conscious. I'm good at remaining calm in situations so the pet doesn't react to the anxiety, whatever it may be. Animal things don't always go according to the plan..I can remain patient--if for some reason your pet isn't behaving as expected! I handle pets very affectionateIy and never use physical punishment or force! I make friends with dogs everywhere I go! I remain consistent as to not undo any training by the owner. Reliable is an understatement when it comes to me. I absolutely love and adore all the dogs!
