1) The reason I want to be a dog sitter was born & raised in Orange County, Santa Ana & finished education in the San Francisco Bay Area. I am also a U.S. Coast Guard veteran with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) experience. 2) My past experience with dog care is have had dogs my entire life. My first dog was a boxer - we used to take him & roam around the creek area as much as parents would allow while living in Tampa, Florida (military). My second dog was a German Shepard mixed with dovermint pincher & she was aggressive. I would ride my bike with her everywhere & she would be there when I was training for wrestling while in high school. We taught her how to chase rabbits & how to be a guard dog for our house in Tustin, Orange County. My third dog was a full breed German Shepard. She was very intelligent & she loved the outdoors. I had moved away to go to college & she was primarily for my younger siblings. 3) What sets me apart from other sitters and dog walkers because I have been involved with sports since high school and through college (football, baseball, wrestling, hockey, and basketball). Have strong teamwork and relationship management skills from the U.S. Coast Guard as we were a part of teams who rescued 2 different families 250+ miles off the Pacific Ocean coast. 4) The way we will communicate with owners when I'm caring for your dogs is primarily through iPhone & secondary will be email 5) Include a description of your home or yard if you are offering boarding or daycare services. N/a not offering this service 6) Some family members or housemates who may be present during the care of the animal (please don’t use full names, for privacy reasons.) Currently live alone & service for at house will not be offered 7) Talk about the dog(s) in your home if you’re offering boarding or daycare services. Be sure to mention what a great companion they are and how eager they would be to have a buddy! Currently live alone & service for at house will not be offered
