The moment I was old enough to have a dog of my own I immediately fell in love with animals. After that I would find any excuse to spend all of my time with animals. When I was 15 I started to become the neighborhood dog walker and have been walking dogs and house sitting both cats and dogs ever since.

My parents never wanted the responsibility of having a pet when I was younger no matter how much I begged for one. When I was old enough to get a job they told me I should be a dog walker or a pet sitter so that I could play with dogs and cats. That's exactly what I did. I've been pet sitting and dog walking on and off since...
