I have grown up with my lab, retriever, Shepard mixed pup whom I’ve cared for my entire life. Taking care of him has taught me to: -be more attentive -the importance of giving a pet time and attention -how to walk a 90 lbs dog without letting him walk me -making sure they are fed, cleaned, taken out regularly, and out of harms way -keeping a clean environment for the pets safety -to treat any pet that I take care of as my own, as I would want someone to do if they took care of my pup -keep open communication with the pet owner -give regular updates if necessary -to allot for plenty of playtime throughout the day -to time walks according to a pets size & level of energy
