I love animals! BUT I am especially crazy about dogs! I am from Colorado Springs, Colorado, but have lived in Orlando seven years. I am very active, energetic, and crazy about animals. My favorite dog breed is hard to say, because I love them all!! You might say my heart yearns for the big fluffy Saint Bernard :). Why I love dog sitting My mom never let me have a dog when I was little. One day, I brought home a stray Golden Retriever. It had scratches all over (I think from getting out of its gate) and I immediately fell in love. We found the owner later, but my mom was furious when I just let the pup in the house. Later that day, I wrote her a story about the mean mom who wouldn't let her little girl have a dog. Needless to say, I always had a part of my heart yearning to have multiple furry friends! I became the neighborhood dog watcher and walker as a grew older, and this helped out with not actually owning myself! About my yard I have a good-sized fenced in backyard, that has plenty of room for running! It look almost like a dog park if you check out the pictures, tons of squirrels and lizards to chase! My experience administering medication I have given shots, pills and other skin medications to dogs in the past that I have dog sat. I learned the "tricks" to hiding pills and securing animals for their very important medicine!
