I grew up with dogs in my home all my life. I have walked dogs, cleaned up after them, potty trained puppies, taken puppies to puppy training class, and generally been around a lot of animals of friends and family. A good friend of mine is a professional dog walker/pet sitter and I have worked for her business and helped her out as well. I have a soft place in my heart for animals and I think they are very important to love and cherish. I would care for your pet as if it were my own, recognizing its unique character and loving it while I care for it.
