Not all dogs are the same. There special in there own way and need care and comfort. Getting to know your dog is key and in doing that I allow the dog to get to know me. They say a dog is a mans bestfriend and since a young kid dogs have been my weakness. They make you feel loved and I think it's so cool how they communicate without being able to physically talk. Of course there is a special bond between the dog and owner but as a sitter I make it my job to create a close bond. Watching a dog doesn't mean to just watch and observe, you gotta be able to talk to him/her and cater to its needs/ wants.
