One thing that makes me a good dog sitter candidate is that I know how to take care of animals well. I grew up on a farm, and owned several pets including a golden retriever. My parents made sure that I was fully responsible for everything that the dog needed such as food baths, maintenance etc. I am also a good candidate because I am a very cleanly and detail oriented person. So, if I were to go to your house, and take care of a pet, you wouldn't have to worry about coming back to your house, and worrying about if coming back to a mess. I make sure that I clean up everything that the dogs messes up, and make sure the place looks better than the way it started!
