I’ve had dogs for all of the 18 years I have been alive and they are definitely my favorite animal. I’ve had anything from pure bred labs to my babygirl who is a hound mix. I have also had all of my dogs except the one I have now from birth to passing. My girl now I rescued her from a shelter she is about to be 3 and she is my whole world. No, I don’t have any professional experience but I am with dogs everyday and have watched family and friends dogs on several occasions for several days at a time. I am not the oldest or most experienced sitter out there but I will love your dog and treat them as my own.
