Dog sitters in Port Reading, NJ
I come from a family of animal lovers! I've grown up around multiple dogs my whole life, and I always played an active role in taking care of them. I now own my own dog, whom I adore. I love dogs and taking care of them.
I was actually a paraprofessional in the public schools for many years but love dogs. I have experience pet sitting and in the past I helped the elderly during my college years. I hope I can be of assistance to your pet.
