First off, dogs have a pretty special place in my heart, there's nothing out there that's brought me the happiness a smiling dog has. Which is why I am doing this job. My family and I own 2 and we love them more than we love ourselves! I also have a lot of experience with house-sitting a certain house in particular. They own 4 dogs and I leap at the opportunity to take care of them when I can. I'll take all 4 fly fishing, running and constantly throw a frisby and ball for them all day and introduce them to my dogs and they hit it off and keep eachother really happy. So I know what it'll take to keep your dog smiling and happy!
