I am very patient with pets. More so than humans . lol . My dog is my child so you're dog will be like my child as well. I love walking fogs and interacting with them. I reward pets for good behavior. My dog is very spoiled, he hardly spend time in a crate and is allowed on furniture and bed. I will provide for your pet like he /she is my own . I have never thought to pet sit but I do have some free time on my hands and would love to do this as I would enjoy it. I think this would be an interesting venture for me and the pets as well. I am a true born dog lover. Mandee
