I don't have any professional experience with pet care but I've been around cats and dogs since I was a kid. My own buddy just passed away at the age of 11, he was a German Short-Haired Pointer mix. We've had him since he was a puppy and he was a lot to handle at times :) I've also cared for pets of friends and family - one friend has four dogs! It's a handful but caring for animals is worth it. I always hated my boy being left alone when we were out and I would love to be able to provide company for other pets while their owners are away. He had a few ailments, so if I were to watch a dog who required medication or special attention then I would happily be able to.
