I have been a dog parent for almost 10 years. I have an 80 lb staffy I’ve had since he was a puppy and a 10 lb bichon I adopted at 4 years old. Since working full time, I’ve had both my dogs potty trained at home and also leash trained as well. Being that they have been a huge part of my life, I treat dogs as family. I will often go the extra mile to take care of your dog since I understand how it's like to place dogs in a hotel. They are not as personalized in taking care of pets as much as an individual like myself. I have experience taking care of other animals as well, such as cats, since I previously worked part time as a caregiver for the elderly and that included taking care of their pets as well.
