The experiences and skills I've had with dogs and dog sitting began when I was very young. Around age 12 I began a neighborhood dog walking service where I walked and let out around 5 to 6 dogs a day. At age 16 I went to school for vet assisting where I became animal CPR certified and learned the medical aspect for caring and treating dogs. At age 17 to 18 I worked in a dog kennel at a vet office, caring for over 30 dogs at a time. Currently Iam a zoo keeper, vet assistant at a wildlife rehab, and animal care taker at a serpentarium and have wide variety of knowledge about all animals mammal, reptile, and birds of all shapes and sizes.
