I've always lived with pets from snakes to frogs to cats to dogs. Dogs have always been my favorite animal because I can play with them and pet them. I am firm but fun, and take joy in helping dogs learn tricks. I've helped teach my dog simple tricks like sit, stay, lay down and fetch. We even taught her to go to her own bed when told. I may not have specific training for watching dogs but have been around dogs and dog sitting since I was a little kid. I've never met a dog that hasn't liked me, and I hope to keep that streak. Another thing about me is I like to make food for dogs, from rice to chicken to fruits and veggies!
