I grew up on a farm where I was around all kinds of animals, Horses, cats, dogs I even cared for a donkey for a while. I was always asked by other families to care for their animals when they went away. I have owned three dogs myself and took care of each of them. I have always loved being around animals. I think I would make a good dog sitter because I have been doing it pretty much my whole life. I have taken care of big dogs, small dogs even really old, sick dogs that required a lot of attention and medication.
