Story behind the story, a little bit more about how I started dogsitting;
...while teaching in schools , preschools and sitting children in my home for 2 decades in 3 countries; Ireland, Croatia and New York (USA), I discovered very similar approach to dogs is making them just...thrive!
If they are happy , everyone is happy.
Later on, when I become a Mom, I became much deeper tuned in the children and at the same time animals too.
-While dogsitting , meeting other dogs characters and breeds - is so much fun! They are all so unique, with their own little souls 😇 I truly enjoy spending time with them and meeting and learning and being surprised continuously about them .
* I am working 2 days per week in Preschool and those days - my husband, son and dog Maggie are at home with your dog /who is never alone. Also I am watching them over surveillance 24/7 camera .
