I've grown up caring for dogs for 20 years now. I have two dogs at home. I've cared for various breeds and ages of animals (Im ok with other animals in the home too btw). I am loving to your pets, and honest about keeping to your feeding and walking schedules when you are away from home. I consider pets an equal member of the family. I don't shy away from animals who need medication or extra love. As a former nurse assistant my desire for 'care' carries over :) People often want to know why I want to dog sit. My reasons are that I love dogs, and I like meeting other people in my community. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you!
