My family and I have had dogs ever since I was a baby. First a German Shepherd named Ginger, then my pitbull Bella, who my family and I still have, then a Chihuahua-papillon named Milo. My experience as a dog owner for most of my life, makes me a great choice. I've always been a believer in that all dogs should be treated as ones own children. That is exactly the way I'd treat your dog, as my own. My family and I trained Bella and Milo all on our own. It was alot of work, but we got the task done. From this training process, I realized I have a lot of patience with dogs. Patience is a must when caring for a dog. I do have experience dog sitting. I have taken care of my friends' dog when she had to run some errands on multiple occasions. I dont consider it a "job" because its something I love to do. I figured I'd branch out and make money while doing something I love.
