I've been pet and house sitting since I was 8. I grew up with a family dog for 15 and a half years and he imprinted on me so many cherished memories. I had started out with family cats but it only took one dog to make me a dog person. He made me adore the curiosity, playfulness and loyalty of all dogs. As in the Pixar movie "Up", I wish we could know exactly what dogs are thinking, but I think I'm pretty good at reading how a dog is feeling or what they want. I look forward to making new furry friends and making sure they get the attention that they need and deserve, as they are brighteners of my day. I'm waiting for the right time to adopt my next dog. In the meantime, this job will give me my doggie fix.
