Family and friends always ask my availability when they need a dog sitter before going anywhere else. They have also nicknamed me the dog-whisperer after dogs seem to welcome me very quickly. I've already gone on lots of walks/runs with another dog walking service, so I know how to love on your dog, properly fasten a leash, and understand how to console your dog if a vicious bicyclist happens to terrorize the neighborhood. I've yet to find a dog that I haven't enjoyed hanging out with, although Huskies have always been my favorite. I've been able to help train my family's dogs, some with more persistent, but still an overall success. A fun fact about me is I used to go out of my way to collect all the Beanie Baby dogs, and I still have that collection to this day.
