I had my childhood dog that I grew up with and took care of. Along with having kittens being born in my home when I was 7 and growing up with those kittens. When I was 16 I convinced by parents to get a dog, and in doing so I had to take him to puppy school. I spent a year and a half training him to do different tricks and to also listen what I had to say. By the time he was just 12 weeks old, he was potty trained, could sit, do down and do paw all by my own training. At a year old he was off leash in our backyard (and I live on a busy main road) because I taught him to stay within the perimeters of my yard. I have grown up around pets my entire life. I currently have 2 cats and a dog, while my cousin has a German sherpard that I watch on occasion, and another cousin has a Bernese Mountain dog that I have also watched. I love playing with dogs and cats of all sorts. My goal is to become a vet, so your pets would be in good care!
