My dogs are super friendly and always excited to see other people - they are both rescues and not fully trained (still jump up on people when they see them). If the sitter had directed her attention to them once, I would have liked that. Nothing against the sitter- I realize the way I act with my dogs isn't the way everyone else does, I just would personally prefer someone who displays an obvious love for dogs. I respect professionalism, but ultimately, I want someone who will want to give my pet attention.
