I don't remember a time where I have not been around animals not to mention dogs. From my first dog at age five named "Polly" from Polly Pocket to my current part, Golden Retriever named, "Gabby" I have had all kinds of dog breeds throughout my life. I am patient and loving with all animals and will prove to be their favorite sitter! I also have experience with all ages of dogs, I have potty trained puppies as well as helped my elderly pit bull to get off the ground when he just couldn't move. I go to school weekdays but I am always out at noon or earlier so I can give your four-legged family member attention the rest of the day and all weekend!
