I'm not just a pet/house sitter, I'm also a human that is able to build real world relationships and connect with people on various levels while continuing to perform my responsibilities on the job. I've been around and cared for various dogs my entire life (over 25 years). I believe in making a personal connection with dogs.....I will sometimes even talk about my issues with them. I understand that dogs are loyal, many humans are not. Dogs, as with children, also make it easy to start dialogue with a stranger. As with humans, the health of a dog is vital. Therefore, walking, running, etc. I crucial for their health. Lastly, I understand that many people see their dogs as family. With that said, your dog will be treated as such.....with love.
