My parents got our first dog when I was 8, since then I've been learning how to care for a small dog constantly, brushing, washing, walking, playing, and most importantly, petting. I have since cared for (including walking, sitting, training) large and medium sized dogs. Dogs are loving and caring animals, and deserve that and more from their sitter. I can give your pet as much attention as s/he needs. I love to go on leash hiking with dogs which is especially wonderful if your pet has lots of energy but you don’t have the time. My family used to breed dogs, so I have lots of experience with very young puppies; additionally, I had an elderly dog with a heart condition so he needed extra attention and care, so I have experience with that as well. I consider myself a dog person, but I am also great with cats! (I am also a great pet sitter for snakes, mice, and chameleons) If you have a diverse household I can definitely help!
