I have spent ten years of my life taking care of my own dogs. They were both Doberman Pinschers and so I am used to big dogs that require lots of activity and training. What many people don't know is that they also love cuddling, which I miss while away at college. Additionally, both of my dogs had some medical issues, so I have experience taking care dogs that require meds or have physical restrictions. I have also cared for cats before. I provided food and love, if the cat wanted. I have also cared for lizards, bearded dragons, and other reptiles.
