I have always loved dogs and have been around pets my whole life. My family has had up to five pets at once, including three dogs, a cat, and a hamster. My family has had a pekingese mix, a bichon frise, and an alaskan malamute, so I am comfortable around dogs of all sizes. Growing up I took care of my own dogs often and have pet sat for neighbors and friends in the past. A lot of my friends and extended family have pets, who I am eager to play with every time I see them.
