I have been taking care of dogs since I was in middle school, about 8 years ago. Growing up I was able to have my own small puppy to take care of. I love all types of dogs and am not able to have my own here at college so being able to take care of an animal would be a blessing. Being with dogs and being able to make an animals day better is an exciting opportunity for me. Your dog will be taken into great hands and will be treated with the greatest amounts of love and compassion all while making sure he or she continues to act in the ways you wish and is not spoiled too much, although it is tempting to be the fun friend for him or her.
