I have had dogs in my life since I was born. I began caring for my own dogs at a young age and my parents have relied on me to walk and feed the dogs. My first big caretaker role for an animal was at 10. I had a guinea pig that I was completely responsible for. I changed its cage regularly, changed the water/food and gave it lots of affection. I have always had a love for animals. I am very patient with animals and typically gain their trust rather quickly.
