I've kept various kinds of pets throughout my life. From casual dogs and cats to harder to maintain saltwater fish/inverts and hedgehogs. I have learned much about pet keeping on my own and have baby sat friends/neighbors pets before and never had any issues. I understand that I must always be alert and expect the worst case scenario, never letting my guard down especially when walking pets outside and near vehicles. I am a taller strong male, so large dogs will definitely be secure if any happens and the dogs want to chase a neighborhood squirrel. I understand what makes dogs/cats uncomfortable and what to do and not to do to make sure the dog is having a good time. I've had full health insurance for my previous dogs (dalmation, chihuaha, and Labrador retriever), so I understand the importance placed on a pet dog. They are like family and I promise to treat them as such, I know I would want the same if someone else walked my four legged friend.
