I've been professionally dog sitting almost 5 years. I grew up with dogs, cats and horses. I began doing this for a living when I realized my beagle would not tolerate conventional boarding. After much introspection, realized I was not alone in wishing my dog had quality, hands-on care when working/travelling. I soon realized this not only made Baxter the beagle elated, it was a superb way to make a modest living. After we meet, your dogs will ask you to please bring them back! Humans call me the Dog Whisperer and I'm one who likes dog kisses, I admit it. :) I love what I do, and sadly, lost some long-time beloved clients to old age in the last year and welcome many more to add to our dog-sitting family.
