Ever since I was younger, I had always wanted to work at Petsmart so that I could play with every dog sitting in those lonely cages. Sadly that was never in the job descriptions, so my dreams died quickly ha. But I did adopt my 'daughter' (Riley) from there. BEST THING I'VE EVER DONE. I got her just after I had knee surgery, and not only did she keep me company, she was the cutest thing ever!! Since she was a puppy, she did make SEVERAL messes, but that comes with being a pet parent :) I treat her as if she were my child, we celebrate birthdays, go to the park, I even take her on vacations. Ive always had dogs in my family - from rottweilers, shitzhu's, maltese poodles, American bulldog/lab mix, pit bulls to Riley (Australian shepherd/boxer mix) You don't have to be worried with having a pet sitter anymore. I can tell you I used to be EXTREMELY cautious leaving Riley with anyone, but I promise the amount of love and attention that my family can give your sweet fur baby will put you at ease. And we can’t forget all those portrait mode photos that you’ll be getting!
