I've raised dogs since I can remember. Getting the opportunity to have my first dog at 6 years old and having her for 12 years taught me a lot of skills from potty training to learning tricks. Although I grew up having dogs all my life, I recently changed directions and got my first cat! Apart of having my own pets, I've also taken care of my friends pets while they are out of town. They've relied on me to walk and feed their pets.
