Dogs and I go WAY back from having my own growing up to dog-sitting others' pets over the holidays or on their vacations (Pitt-bulls and mutts included!). I don't discriminate against any dog, and would consider myself a self-proclaimed dog whisperer because I understand animal body language VERY well! That said, I am not uncomfortable with special needs or finicky dogs-- I enjoy the challenge! I've personally owned dogs as large as 125lbs to as little as 20lbs. The reason I want to be a sitter is to do something I love, help pay off some student loan debt, and fill the void I feel not having my own dog right now! I'm very excited to meet your pup and love on him while you are away! I can't wait to hear from you.
