Hello! My name is Myah and I am currently in Nursing school. While I have only been pet sitting for about two years I absolutely love it. My nanny family had two dogs that I would dog sit for them at their house very frequently, for as long as a week. I also have many other references I am able to give. Thank you for your time!

I've always loved dogs, and I've been dog-sitting for at least 4 years. Growing up I wanted to become a vet to help all the stray dogs back home. I ended up not becoming a vet, but it never stopped me from rescuing dogs, taking care of them, and finding them their forever home.
