I grew up around dogs. I have been dog sitting for family/friends for over five years. I love taking care of dogs, walking them, playing and cuddling. We have one dog as of now and her name is Minnie. She is a beagle who loves to play, sniff everything, and cuddle at bedtime. I believe dogs are apart of the family. I would be delighted to help your family out and take care of your animals!
