I have had a dog since I remember. I worked in college as a dog sitter for a company called Smitten Pet Sitten. I worked with numerous breeds and would always let the homeowners how there furry friend(s) were doing. I took care of dogs, cats, horses, and fish. I also brought in the mail and watered plants. Animals are stressed when going to new environments, like someone else's home or boarding at a vet. So let me come to you. Animals will be less anxious when left in their own home with a similar routine. Some animals won't eat with their owners gone, however I am gentle and patient and don't mind sitting with them feeding them by hand. I not only have experience with dogs, i have experience caring for cats, hedgehogs, fish, etc.
