I have a dog myself whom I've cared for about 7 years. I know how to bathe, feed, walk, clean up after him, and give him any medicine that he needs. If there are any other tasks that you need me to do. I know that I can learn and perform them well. Unfortunately, I am allergic to cats so I will not be able to care for them.
