My family has had a dog since I was 5 years old (currently we have 2), so I have a lot of personal experience with pets, as well as professional. In high school I worked in a kennel at my local vet's office, taking care of the pets being boarded there--this included feeding, walking, cleaning up after, bathing, and administering medicine. I gained a lot of experience working with dogs of all different sizes! I've also dog, house, and cat sat for friends, family, and neighbors for several years.
