I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including regularly dog sitting for a couple from my church who had two dogs. They trusted me many times to feed, walk, play with, and check in on both dogs while they were away. I followed detailed care instructions, kept them on their normal routines, and made sure they were safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Managing two dogs at once helped me build patience, attentiveness, and confidence. In addition, I spent most of a summer independently caring for and training my own dog as a puppy. I worked on potty training, leash walking, and basic commands using consistency and positive reinforcement. That experience taught me responsibility, structure, and how important routine is for young dogs. I am dependable, observant, and genuinely love being around animals. I treat every dog as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being.
