I have had a family dog as well as my own cat who I have taken care of for the last 10+ years. I love playing with them so they feel loved everyday. I feed them, play with them, and as needed I give them baths (even though my cat hates the water). I love taking dogs for walks because they get to explore the outside world and interact with other dogs and people. Even if your dog is shy or nervous they still need to go for walks, I can make sure they get their walk done in an environment where they are comfortable. I have always loved dogs from a young age and the opportunity to meet and play with other dogs is exciting. Dogs aren't just pets they are family members too.
