I have had a dog, or two, in my life since I was 5 years old, from Yorkies to a sweet large baby I got from the pound who was a mix breed. I currently own 2 dogs, also mixed breeds from the Humane Society, and care for my mother's 10 month old Golden Retreiver puppy. I watch her dogs, the other is a Bichon Frise, on a regular basis. I have also cared for other friend's and family's pets, including chickens, fish, and even lizards. No snakes or spiders though! Haha! I'm good at noticing if something is wrong and will do whatever it takes to fix the problem. I love to play with dogs, I think my dogs think I'm a dog sometimes. I believe in taking on a role to it's entirety, for instance, if I am taking care of pets, or children, I put away my phone, or any other distraction, and completely focus on my charge and work hard to learn everything I can about for whom I am caring. That way I can best serve their needs and we have a much better time together. I will love your pets and care for them as if they were my own.
