I have grown up with dogs my whole life and understand the logistics of taking care of them, from bathing to walking and how it's important to keep them on a schedule. Concerning walking, I've taken my family's dogs on usually 20- 30-minute walks and understand how to keep dogs in control and safe. I also have watched family friends' pets before and know the ins and outs of caring for someone else's animal. What sets me apart from others is my genuine enthusiasm for animals, especially for dogs of all breeds and feel it's important to treat them with sincere respect. A dog isn't just a pet, but a staple member of a family and should be treated as such. It brings me a lot of enjoyment from spending time with dogs and believe that they really do teach of things all the time.
