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.

I've been pet sitting and dog walking on and off since...
