I have been working as a pet sitter for the past 2 years. I have many references and specialize in dogs. I absolutely love being able to watch animals and I fall in love with every one of them that I meet. I am not scared of dogs when it comes to biting and rough play but I will turn down a vicious dog if it seems unsafe.
