I was born and raised in Guam, and was very heartbroken once I moved out for college and had to leave my dog behind. I got my maltese shih tzu mix puppy for my 12th birthday, and now she is turning 9 this year without me. I miss having a companion, so I tell all my friends the best advice I can give them is to make close friends with dogs to fill that void if you are unable to take care of your own. I have sat my friends dogs already, because I love all dogs. I was ecstatic when my friend told me about this site!!! I will give tons of love, and care to any dog I agree to sit. I also have experience with child care. I was a "camp counselor"at the Hyatt in Guam, basically a nanny for kids put into the summer day care program at Hyatt. Aloha.
