I have been a dog lover since I was in diapers! I have always had a dog in my life since I can remember. I have had one who I grew up with, Tyson, who was a pure German Shepherd. He was the greatest guy in my life. I have had dogs living with my step-mother, who had a total of 6 dogs in her house! Deisel, a Pit. Misty, a German Shepherd. Corona,a Chihuahua, Maxi, a T-cup Yorkie. Callie, the offspring of Deisel and Misty, as well as Sirus, who is the offspring of them as well. My lucky task at hand was taking care of all of these guys as once, which is a hastle on one hand while a great joy on another! I've had experience with dogs who are old, as well as new born puppies and training them to not just get on a bathroom schedule, but small commands and tricks as well! (especially fun when they figure out how to do it and wont stop!) Why do I love dog sitting? I love dog sitting because dogs are the greatest gift in life! They're sweet, giving and loving. They are family, and should be treated so. I love giving them attention, and playing with them-making them feel as though they are not left behind or alone when others go away for vacation. Unfortunately there are some places the dog can't come with and that's what I'm here for! Company and companionship. About my yard: I have an extra large backyard that we share with the house next door, and it is completely fenced in with locking gates. House has scheduled maintenance so it's always clean, and cut.
