I consider myself an animal lover overall but I LOVE dogs a little extra. I don't have much paid experience in dog sitting, only about two years, but I've been surrounded by dogs my whole life. I have a 6-year-old bully, and have had him since the day he was born. He's very educated, very loving, and very spoiled.
