I got my first dog when I was 5; he was a golden retriever/ lab mix that lived to be 18 years old. Since, I have owned dogs all my life until recently when I moved across country back in with my family. I will only be doing traveling sitting, as I am not the current owner of my home and I wouldn't want to "burden" (rolls eyes) others with the pet. Because I don't have a dog of my own right now, I love dog sitting to get a chance to play with the pups and keep me company! I am very active and working only part time so I will have plenty of free time to spend with the dogs! I am the person who goes into a home with a dog and pays more attention to the dog(s) than the people lol.
