I've always had dogs growing up and I've had my own for the last 6 years. I also care for my moms dog (in the same house) while she's away at work or vacation. I always have a positive attitude and I'm very energetic. I love all animals and especially dogs! I can assure you that your dog with have the best time in my care. When house sitting I will always make sure your dog gets taken out to potty every 2-4 hours and stays hydrated.
