I've been pet sitting for around 10 years on and off. I mainly started sitting due to my innate love and desire to be with dogs. I love all kinds of dogs big or small, mean or nice, no matter the breed. The first time I got to care for a dog, was at the age of 10- a homeless dog that I found on the streets. I took the dog to the vet to get any shots he needed. Unfortunately, a week or two after acquisition, I came home from school one day and there my mother was, standing at the door with a certain look on her face. She immediately kneeled and told me that my dog had passed and when I walked in, I immediately burst into tears. It was a very sad and traumatic moment for me. Since then, I've been an extreme avid lover of dogs and animals in general. I hope to provide your dog the same love and attention he/she gets from his care taker. I have knowledge of first aid for dogs. I am very ATTENTIVE. I am highly tolerable of dogs quirks whether its accidental littering in the house, tearing things up, and plain 'ole hardheadedness. I am patient DO NOT physically punish dogs, however, when enough is enough- I provide a comfortable level of sternness to get the act right. I will provide your friend with the care and nurturing that he/ she requires, and will see to it that your dog(s) enjoys the the experience. Peace
