Since the day I was born I have been around dogs. Usually we would have at least three dogs at all times growing up. They were my playmates, cuddle buddies and friends. I couldn't imagine a world with out dogs. I have picked puppies from the litter, raised and cared for them until the day that they have died. The last one that passed lived to be 19. His name was Laddie. I currently do not have a dog of my own, which is why I would love to become a dog sitter. I am waiting to get a bit more settled in, since I recently moved to California from Upstate New York.
