I've been a dog person ever since I can remember. I've raised two shelter dogs, and my third I've had since she was a small puppy at 3 months old. I started dog sitting when I was 15 years old, and I love it more and more each time! Building a trusting relationship with each dog is key. Making sure they know that even though their human is gone, they'll still have fun and be taken care of. I always have my phone on me, so I rarely miss a call/text, so you'll always know how your furry companion is doing. Pictures of your pal just don't cut it? Not a problem as my phone is Skype/FaceTime compatible, so you can see your dog in real time. I know several nature trails and dog parks around my area for walks and play. The Shops at Legacy has a wonderful mini trail around a pond that I take my dog to run around and meet other pups too!
