I have been babysitting/nannying for 9 years. Many of the families I've babysat for also have animals that I have been able to get to know well. As well as taking care of their kids, I took care of many of my families animals. Since I spent a lot of time with their animals, I gain a connection with thek as if they were my own. I have also personally owned a dog for 14 years who sadly past away last year. Since I am unable to own a dog at the time, I enjoy making connections with any dog. I will treat any animal as if they are my own and treat them with the best care that is possible. Hope I can help!
