Hello I have 2 years experience being a dog sitter. I am a care giver for children and the family I work for own two dogs, 13 yr shih tzu and 4 yr boxer. Occasionally when my family goes on vacation I care for their dogs while they are away, and I love it! I also have cats and dogs in my family so I'm naturally an animal person....

I have been pet-sitting since I was 17 years old. Any pet, any size I am good with. I love animals. I will stay in the house with the pet(s) due to distance and/or if the pet(s) are better with that and if the owners are good with that as well. If not, I am willing to travel back and forth no matter how far or how often.
