I've had my own dogs since I was 6 when I first moved to Florida from Tennessee. We had 2 basset hounds that taught me responsibility starting from a young age. The responsibilities included, bathing, feeding, grooming, walking and playing with the dogs (with some help for the first couple of years since i was so young). Then when I was in high school I started watching my teachers pets which included a cat named Daisy who I would feed, clean the litter box and cuddle with. Then a dog named Hollywood who was on the older side and need to be watched for seizures, given medicine, feed, and walked. I also house sat during the duration of watching the dogs throughout the day and sometimes over night. Then I watched a dog named Dallas who would come to my house for weeks at a time and I would feed, bathe, groom, play, walk and sometimes go to the dog park during the week I would watch him. I used to have a holland lop eared bunny who i took care of 24/7 and did everything thing for including the vet and nail clippings. I have a pretty flexible schedule and could do ongoing long term pet sitting and arrange my hours as needed. My main job is to you and your pet.
