I have had a love for taking care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. My first job watching a dog, I was 10. I got this job, because I was the only kid that the dog would trust. I have had dogs in my household for 25 years or more. I am especially fond of the mini dachshund. I raised her from a pup and she was a warm, cuddly family member all her life. Sadly I nursed her through back issues and had to put her to rest. Currently I have a Golden Retriever, so I have had experience with larger dogs as well as small dogs. All dogs seem to think they are lap dogs. I am always happy that each dog I meet takes an instant liking to me the minute I meet them. I also have a playful cat that gets along with all the dogs that come for a visit. I have had a cat in my life for 10 years or more, I enjoy the companship and cuddles. On occasion I .have watched a friends 3 Labs, it is great fun to watch them play together in our fenced in back yard. I live in the Edgerton area, and currently work in Madison third shift. I am open to working in the Madison area after work which is 7:00am. Looking forward to taking care of your dog or cat. I currently am taking a online course on pet sitting and it includes what to do in case of emergencies
