I've had my own dog before and cared for him from 8 weeks to 5 years old prior to me relocating to a different state. I've also dog sit for a friend of mine and my cousins dog multiple times. There dogs where a Yorkie and a Maltese/Shitzu mixed. My dog was Pappion/Brussels Griffon mixed. I had to adopt my dog out due to relocating and unable to bring my dog with me. I'm a very compassionate and loving person and treat pets with dignity and respect as I would expect humans to treat other people.
