I grew up with two dogs and I was their primary caretaker. I tended to their needs as well as trained them to do many skills and took them to the fair for 4H. They learned how to shake, howl, roll over, ring a bell to go outside, and perform specific actions based on sounds. I have always enjoyed teaching animals new skills and love observing their behavior in different situations. I would say this is the thing that sets me apart from other sitters. I am also very active and love to be outside. I have dogsat many different types of dogs and also several cats. I also have raised many farm animals. I am very well versed when it comes to animal Care.
