I have always given my sweet fur friends 100% of my time and love. I am an avid walker and in excellent shape to keep up with them for long periods of time. I just moved to Indio, Ca, to semi retire, and have many references from the Bay Area ........They have trusted me with there homes, and most importantly with there precious dog or dogs. In the past I worked full time and couldn't have a dog of my own, but worked my whole schedule around my dog sitting. I have always loved dogs, and want them part of my life. Dog sitting takes a special person to bond with dogs, because obviously the owners are the mommy and daddy. I have always met with the owners and made sure that bond exists, and never have I not had a dog that didn't warm up to me. Thank you for considering me, Cathy
