I have grown up around dogs my entire life and have had ten dogs throughout my life that has allowed me to build many skills to understand and handle dogs. I have also participated in many hours of dog sitting throughout my life as well. When I was in high school I made money by dog sitting all my neighbors dogs, and other various animals. I have actively taken care of pups on Rover for 6 months and have gained great experience from it! When first introducing myself to a dog I get to the dogs level and have him/her sniff my hand to get used to my presence. Once the dog is familiar with me I will pet them and show them that there is nothing to worry about ! From these experiences I have learned how to take care dogs in every way from learning patience, understanding what to do in uneasy moments, to special care for dogs who need it, and of course giving the dog the best time possible!
