I have loved animals since I was a little kid. I've been pet sitting for over 10 years off and on and it's been such an enjoyable part time job. I have always loved dogs and have two of my own. One is an older beagle with an old soul personality and another who is a 1-year-old aussiedoodle. I enjoy walks and all things outdoors....
