Why I love dog sitting: I've been a dog lover since I was young. Right now I have one Maltese that I rescued 6 years ago and I have a 3 month old puppy. The puppy, Mandy, is bichon/schnauzer mix. I have ample times on my hands and I spend most of my day with my dogs because they are my babies. I am retired and 64 years of age. Most people have to work, some have children to raise. It always seems they are running here and there, running much to fast, often not noticing the truly grand things in life, our four legged friends. These animals are loving, affectionate and only want our attention and nourishment. I get down on the floor to talk and play with them. Each one has a spirit and a soul that loves me as no one else in the world. That is why I love my dogs and all animals. They teach me each day, they give me entertainment every moment. Other than God, the love we share is greater than any other love. About my yard I have a nice back yard. It's big enough for dogs to run and play with toys or each other. They are safe from escaping because my small puppy can't get out. MUST BE HOUSETRAINED
