I had my own little dog walking business where I would walk a few of the neighborhood dogs and play with them. Mostly though I’ve just taken care of my own pets. My dog Mazy who passed the rainbow bridge this year and my cat Erin. I’ve had my own Mazy since I was 7 and have helped to take care of her, more so when I was older. I would walk her, clean up after her, feed her, bathe her, give her hair cuts, play with her, brush and cuddle with her, etc. As she got older she became blind and had lots of accidents in the house that I would clean up and I would still take her on walks and guide her. I learned patience because she would get angry or confused. I learned the signs for when she was about to have an accident and could help prevent them. I’ve had my cat Erin since I was 16 and I completely take care of her. I feed her and fill her water fountain. She gets played with every day and even gets taken on walks in her backpack for enrichment. I also have some experience when I took care of a friends dog that’s blind and constantly needs to be watched. She required eye drops and oral medication that I gave to her. Additionally I’ve taken care of a cat that required an oral medication.
