I've been taking care of my dog for three years and its been great. I've also taken care of puppies. I took care of my friend's dog for two days while she was in the hospital. I always make sure my dogs have food and water. I always take them outside for 25-30 minutes. I took care of my aunt's dog while she was looking for a new home. I've trained her to use the bathroom outside and inside and learn to eat dog food instead of human food. I live in a apartment, its small but safe. I live with my parents and my little brother and my dog. My dog and the other dogs ive taken care of always feel like its their own home.
