I've been a dog person since we adopted our first dog off the street when I was in Middle School. Ever since, I have gotten used to a life of regularly walking and taking care of dogs, from feeding to playing and everything in between. I have worked many summers as a dogsitter, and many more as a dog walker for neighbors, friends, and others. Dogs are a great source of joy and relief from stress in my daily life, and I have never had a negative experience with them. No dog that I am hired to care for is going to be ignored or treated poorly - by that same token, I will be sure to communicate with their owners so I know the exact level of affection they require.
