I treat them as if they were my own. The dog will get some attention from us and we might take dog to a dog park or even go for a walk. I teach dogs some sign language too. About this sitter: I grew up around dogs and even owned a few. Having dogs were my great help since I have some poor hearing. My friend tends to look for a pet sitter when she leaves for California every summer. That when I realized I could be a pet sitter because most pets feel more comfortable at their home. I want to help pet(s) to feel comfortable in an environment they are very well familiar with. Kennels may be more expensive, however, if kept pets in their own home would be a bit cheaper! :) I love to spend time with dogs making sure they are happy and comfortable. Why I love dog sitting I grew up with dogs. I love them. I enjoy spending time with them. Meet my pets I have 2 cats. All are 3 years old. Good with other cats and dogs.
