From the time I was born, my family has always had at least 2 dogs. Since the age of 8, I was always the one in the family entrusted with caring for them. We've had dogs of all kinds from large Rhodesian Ridgebacks, medium sized Blue Heelers, to small Norfolk Terriers. Because of this experience, the families of my friends, and aunts and uncles always ended up entrusting their dog sitting needs to me growing up. Rather than mowing the lawn like most high-school aged boys, I grew up taking care of dogs (and cats). I have never met a dog who did not like me, and have surprised many dog owners who expect their own to dislike me! I simply love them and love making them happy.
