In the past I have had three dogs. The dog I had for the longest, Keisha, was a black Labrador retriever. I would always make sure she was well fed, and take her on long walks/hikes to keep her happy. If she was sick I would often take it upon myself to administer the medication. I had Keisha from when she was a puppy up to the time when she was growing sick and old, so I know how to handle dogs of all ages. I have always had a love for animals since I was a kid. I used to say "did you know", and then start listing facts about different animals. I don't think I would be able to dog sit from home, since my roommates have two dogs, but I am willing to travel.
