Due to my mom's allergies, I have never had a cat or a dog, but I have always wanted one since I was little. I love all kinds of animals and love going for walks (even if it is cold outside). I would love the opportunity to take care of someone's pets. I, however, prefer not working with large jumpy or aggressive dogs.
