I have had dogs, and many other pets, for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs of my own, and have been riding horses since I was 7. I basically grew up at the barn and we always had a number of dogs out there. Growing up, care for my animals was always my primary responsibility, and one I took seriously. This love for working with animals grew into dog sitting and pet sitting for a number of friends and family members. I continued to pet sit through college and grad school and am looking to continue pet sitting so I can get my dog fix while I can't have one of my own. I still have a horse and I also have two rabbits, so my love of animals continues. I would love to care for your dog while you are away!
