I was so excited when I came across this advertisement on Craigslist. I recently moved to LA and unfortunately cannot afford to get a dog of my own. I have always had one and am so happy that this will give me a chance to still have a dog/s around in my home and although I live in an apt, your dog will never want for love, attention or affection in my home. I love dogs.period. It doesn't matter what size, what color or what breed. Please allow me the opportunity to better my life by taking care of your babies :) Why I love dog sitting Dogs have been a passion all my life! When my dad walked in with my very first dog, a chocolate brown cocker spaniel puppy that we named Tuffy, I fell in love for the first time. It was the first time I volunteered to do chores just so I could spend more time with him :). Unfortunately we lost him when he was 13 to liver failure. It was literally the worst day of my life. Just as beautiful as our Tuffy was this beautiful white lab puppy we decided to get and name Tyson after Mike Tyson, as an irony as even an ant scared him, haha. He was the most affectionate, loving being I have had in my life. He epitomized the term unconditional and and there was nothing better than coming home to him at the end of a stressful day. He would also sit on his butt on my parents bed watching CNN with my dad and nap on his back, head on the pillow and legs up in the air like a human being!! We lost him recently but he gave us a wonderful set of memories to hold onto gathered over almost 15 years. . About my yard As I live in an apt and only have a balcony, I will take your dog/s outdoors around the neighborhood and parks for as many walks as necessary.
