I have had a dog for most of my life, and have never once had a problem with taking care of them. I have stayed at home on numerous occasions alone to take care of my dogs. I have also dog-sat for some of my friends and family when they go on vacations or are busy throughout the day. You should choose me over other sitters because I am responsible, prompt, and enjoy exercising. Therefore, if your dog needs to be walked, I will be able to do that without question, due to my active lifestyle. What differentiates me from other sitters is that I am a very approachable person, and your dog will not feel threatened or harmed when I am around. I think this is the most important quality for a dog sitter because you should want your dog to feel at home and at ease.
