Some of the qualities that would make me an excellent candidate to care for your dog are that I'm reliable, trustworthy, calm and good at sticking to routines Because I have taken care of animals in the past, I understand the importance of making sure that the balance of having fun and getting things done remains intact. The main reason why I would make an excellent candidate for talking care of your pet is that both animals and I enjoy spending time with each other. I was playing tennis at a park once and the gentlemen in the court next to me brought his dog Noodle. Once my friend and I stopped our game, we decided to sit down. Soon after we sat down, the gentleman with the dog threw a tennis ball into our court for Noodle to fetch. Once Noodle caught the ball, he decided to pay me and my friend a visit. After letting Noodle sniff my hand, he decided he wanted to play catch with me. After a bit of playing catch, he decided that he wanted to sit in my lap. The owner of Noodle said he has never seen Noodle sit in a stranger's lap before me. While I can't guarantee your pet will sit in my lap after just meeting me, I assure you that my laid-back demeanor will make you and your dog feel right at home.
