I have owned animals (dogs, cats, birds, reptiles) ALL my life. I will never live without dogs if I am able to take care of them. I mean walk dogs, if I cannot walk them I will hire someone. I believe dogs should be exercised daily, NO excuses. An exercised dog makes a happy owner! I have been officially doing petsitting and dog walking over 2 years now and I have never regretted pursuing a career in something I have such a great passion for! I am highly active and outgoing I love to meet animals and their owners! I am married, over 20 years and this gives me the ability to stay in other people's home, where I feel it's better for the pets overall. I have 3 large dogs so I am a multi task person and things get chaotic but I feel I can handle it. I work closely with dog trainers so I feel I know enough to keep up training that may be ongoing or I can refer you to a couple of great trainers! I am blessed to have access to such knowledge!
