I have lived with animals my whole life-- they're my favorite sibling! :) What would I bring caring for your dog? I would bring patience, a love for running and playing till your dog is dog tired (see what I did there?), flexibility in my schedule and a willingness to go above and beyond for your special family member-- even if it means running to the store to get treats when you run out! I have experience caring for small dogs as well as large; I don't get squeamish about poop or barf; I will be respectful of your boundaries, rules and preferences. Basically, I'm the best babysitter you could ask for cause I get that it is not your dog, it's your baby! :)
