I have had pets since I was 4 years old. From a young age my dad taught me the importance of responsibility by allowing me to care for animals such as cats, dogs, lizards, turtles and even a small snake. I was responsible for daily care such as changing water, feedings, cleaning little box,scooping poop and giving baths when needed. I like to think my first job was walking neighbors dog and house sitting when they were away.
