I've had a rat terrier, Junior, for 18 years! He was my child. I loved him very much. Every time I'm dog sitting my brother, friend or client's dog, it brings me so much happiness. I know it's important to find someone that genuinely cares about your dog (child) when you are not around. This is what I try to do. I love animals in general and would love to adopt every dog I see especially in the shelters. I have dog sit for weeks when families are going on vacation and drop by as well as walking. I honestly don't know if the dogs enjoy it more than I do! It makes me so happy to spend time with them and I am reminded how much I miss Junior.
