I have pet-sited for friends and neighbors for the past several years. These were a series of experiences that I can only describe as "life changing". Growing up, I never owned a dog and dad was allergic to cats, so that was out of the question too. Because of this, I never had the chance to develop a close relationship to animals like so many others are able to do. When I started pet sitting, that changed. My appreciation and love for animals (especially dogs!) grew over the course of my experiences and I soon found myself wishing for a dog of my own. At the moment, that's not possible given my current situation which is why I like to pet sit. This means I'll treat your dog like it was my own!
