I have owned, trained and loved many dogs, cats, birds, a duck, chickens and a few reptiles in my lifetime. I have taken in stray dogs and trained them to find a home, dogs no one else wanted because they bite, and two dogs with health issues. I have rescued cats and kept them or rehome them. I am an RN during working hours so I have the medical experience to take care of animals with health issues. I currently "cat sit" for my sister when she is out of town and "dog sit" in my home for my adult son's best friend and for my daughters 3 dogs. When my son said he was going over twice a day to take care of his best friends dog, I said "why don't you bring the dog home? He will have more fun than sitting in an empty house all day"! As I started to think about what I would LOVE to do when I retire in 5 years, I realized taking care of animals is what I really love to do. I currently have a dog that is blind and it is difficult to take her on walks, which is another reason why walking dogs would be perfect for me. I am very flexible, so last-minute changes are not a problem. I hope you will give me a chance to spend time with your pet(s) while you are away or walk your dog. I love all the different personalities and little biters are not a problem as I know how hard it is to find someone to care for them. I raised 2 little biters. One is my daughter's dog who loves me but if I try to hand her anything he is going to protect her. The way I handle little biters is with love, understanding and treats if allowed.
