I grew up raising two dogs and i have dog sat for friends before and for compensation. I walk, groom, feed, play and etc. I love dogs, and I love to care for them. I had a cocker spaniel who had become paralyzed by age 10 and from that i learned how to deal with a special needs dog and how to feed medication and properly groom them and ensure the dog's comfort. This taught me about what knowledge is important to know to take care of a dog.
