The first job I ever had in my life was my job as a dog sitter. When I was a teenager, I went around my neighborhood and left my advertisement at every doorstep: "Brian's Dogsitting Service." And I did the full service. I'd walk them, groom them, and ultimately make long lasting relationships with dogs and owners alike. It was so fun and amazing to meet all of those animals! And, as a former dog owner, I know how hard it is to find a good, trustworthy pet-sitter. My own dog passed away a few months ago. He was 17 and it was definitely time, but I am missing the joy of having my best friend. I was talking to some friends of mine over drinks and said, "I feel like I really want a dog. But I know it wouldn't be responsible for me to get an animal right now. It wouldn't be fair to me or the dog." I am planning on going to medical school, so a dog right now would not be the best life decision. It was then they recommended dog-sitting, and I lit up! I remembered how much I loved it growing up and I would be ecstatic to do it again! What sets me apart from other dog walkers and dog sitters is that I am not in it for the money (though the money is a nice perk). I am here because I love dogs and I love people. I love walking with dogs (or running, if they are able), playing with them, relaxing with them, and just letting them know they are the goodest boy/girl!
