My experience includes having had several dogs myself along with caring for others. I have been paid to pet sit cats and dogs in my home or clients while they are on vacations or for short turn drop ins. These include walks, exercising, feedings and companionship.
Since the day I was born, I have always had at least 2 dogs at a time. I am very experienced in caring for them, including walking, feeding, playing, loving, and even picking up waste. I have always been an animal lover. Although I have had most experience with dogs, I am also very comfortable with cats and other animals.
