I have always grown up with dogs around the house. Of course, it all changed when I moved to New York City about a few months ago. I must say, i find it pretty ruff not seeing dogs on a daily basis, which is why I have always considered caring for other people's dogs as a living. It's basically a win-win situation . Other than playing with dogs, I actually took care of mine back home because we used to breed them. I would regularly go to the veterinarian for the shots of new-born puppies or as soon as I see notice something wrong with my dogs. I have experience with small and medium-sized dogs. I've had shih tzus, beagles, poodles and a golden retriever (my favorite breed)
