I have had and loved animals my whole life. Any experience I have with dog sitting comes from having my own animals and watching my friends dogs whenever they needed someone to watch their dog/cats because everyone I know knows how much I love animals and how good I am with them. I have a Shitzu that is 15 years old and have always had an animals since I was a child. To me, animals are part of my family and my home is not a home without my animals.
