Hi! I'm an animal lover and always have been. Growing up, my family took in strays, we trained our own dogs and kept cats, chickens, even geese. Playing, long walks, lots of love and caring are what your dog will get when they are with me. I know how much a part of your family your pooch is and will be part of mine during our visit. I also understand that some of our four legged friends just do better in their own environment, around familiar things and smells. Why I love dog sitting I've been a dog lover since early childhood, my aunt has a picture somewhere of me riding her English Sheepdog like a horse. I was 12 the first time I helped raise and train a family dog, a miniature poodle, who was too smart for his own good. I've also had both English and German Pointers and know how much exercise a high energy dog truly needs. Now, I have Molly in my life, an American Pit Bull Terrier, who is truly a gentle sweetheart, trained on and off leash, playfull and very social. Meet my pets We have dogs and cats happily together, they snuggle and play and nap together 24/7. Molly (American Pit Bull Terrier) is so playful, always playing tug-o-war and keep-away, she is very social and plays well with humans and dogs. Azim, Oliver and Kitty Meow are our feline friends, they have all been brought up around dogs, Oliver in particular likes to play with pups large and small and is always ready for a snuggle during nap time. About my yard I have a moderate sized back yard, it has a patio area with a trellis and the rest of the yard is a mixture of grass and redwood chips and trees. Its big enough for smaller dogs to get a good run, but I take the big dogs for walks to the American River. My experience administering medication Pills more than injections
