Dog sitters in Oak Forest, IL
I have loved animals, but especially dogs, as long as I can remember. Every time I am walking and I see a dog, I ALWAYS ask if I can pet them. I grew up with dogs, big and small, and I am very comfortable around them. Between me and my seven siblings, we have 10 dogs all together and I love every single one of them!!
