Dogs are better than humans period, no questions asked. I have a dog myself and take her out everyday just because I know it'll make her happy, I love her joy and enthusiasm to go out in nature. I love the energy dogs in particular transmit to me. I can accommodate to any dog trait: sporty, chill pill, athletic, slow walker, fast walker, runner, sprinter. My dog is a big dog so I have experience with that and small dogs won't be a problem. The best thing about dog sitting is probably the benefits I get out of it; exercise and stress free and being out in the sun. I'm flexible on the scheduling, I can be up at 5:00am any day of the week.
