My first house sitting with a dog job was when I was 19 years old which I enjoyed so much that I have been dog sitting ever since. I am very comfortable around animals and enjoy being with them. I enjoy talking to them, playing, walking, giving hugs and kisses with lots of petting. When I am in the car and I see dog in another car or walking the streets - i have to smile. Dogs are usually excited to me and the owners see their approval. Friends have called me asking what did I do to their dog-they are different now. My answer is that I treated them with respect. And some friends from church call me their favorite dog sitter. Being in the company of animals makes me happy.
