I have watched dogs in the past and even did some physical therapy on a dog that had leg surgery. I have stayed at pet owner's homes while they were on vacation to sit their pets. Pets have been a part of our home since I was little and each and every pet gets treated like family. I have dogs and cats of my own and everyone gets along. I do not have my dogs on leashes or chains as they do not go out of the yard. While sitting pets, I will put them on a leash if at my house until they get used to the area, then, they will be free to roam just like my dogs do. I am a pet lover 100%.
