Because I get personal with the animals I sit for. I want to make sure that we make a connection, and that I understand them as much as they understand me. I also have lot os experience with animals of all kinds, especially dogs and cats. ( I am an owner!) I also work at the vet tech program at PCC and am there working hands on with all the different animals that are on site. Like I said, I love the fact that I get to connect with the animals. And their owners, I love to go out on walks with them, in the nature and the environment that they love. When I get to cuddle with the dogs, it feels really rewarding to me, because I know that while you are gone, they are happy and comfortable, waiting for you to return. :)
