I've had a family dog (a peekapoo named Cutie) for 15 years, and I've taken care of her since I was 10 and she was only a puppy. I learned to walk her, feed her, groom her, and clean up after her. I also have been trusted by neighbors and family members to take care of their various pets since I was a child. I've walked people's dogs, cared for their cats and birds and fish, and once even house sat for a household with five dogs. I'm gentle and affectionate with pups, and I love to play as much as they do. Dogs never fail to bring a smile to my face, and I always feel joyful around them. I adore their undying energy.
