Growing up I was always around every size dog, from Shepard's to dachshunds. I own a dog myself that I've had since I was 10. He's a miniature dachshund. I previously helped at local shelters during my childhood as a Girl Scout to gain more experience with animals. My heart and love for animals makes me a great person to have around your animal ensuring care, love and a good state of mind for your pet as a sitter.
