I've taken care of pets since I was 6 years old. At that time, I had a pet hamster, a cat, and a brand new puppy. At six years old, I ended up being the one to potty train this puppy. I have walked and bathed dogs for neighbors, friends, and family. We have even boarded dogs for people when they go out of town. I also have experience caring for sick pets because my cat was chronically ill with severe stomach problems and my dog developed a rare skin cancer; both of these pets lived very long lives and passed when they were elderly. I now work at a local doggy daycare as a kennel attendant, so I work professionally with all kinds of dogs.
