I had my own dog for 16 years who I helped care for. I took the dog on walks frequently. I had also babysat my Grandmothers dog when she went on vacations. I have had experience with dogs and cats when I went to a babysitter as a toddler. Many of my relatives had dogs of different sizes whom I had become acquainted with. I am accustomed to different personality types, and their unique activities they enjoy, such as being petted, or activities such as walking, fetch or tug of war.
