I've had a dog since I could remember. I grew up in a ranching family with a variety of animals so I learned how to treat and tend to animals, particularly dogs at a young age. I am aware of the joy and comfort dogs bring, and so I would be intentional to care for your dog in the manner you would like me to. Dogs are fun for me-- I generally enjoy walking, petting, playing with them so this isn't just something to make extra cash, but something that will bring more peace and joy to my own life. I work in social services, and have a few roommates so I am not able to currently have a dog. I think this would be a true gift for me, to enjoy the comfort dogs bring, while also lending a hand in the hard work it is to care for animals.
