My family always owned dogs, so I guess I grew up loving animals and dogs in particular. While at home, I would take care of the dog, taking her on walks, feeding her, giving her baths etc. Now that I am away for studies, not having a pet waiting for me at home seems unnatural and I'm looking at taking dog walking jobs mainly because I want to spend time with dogs, but also to help out and earn some extra money. Other than my own dog, I have also taken care of my Boarding House teacher's dog, who was a 6 months puppy at the time, so I have experience working with younger, more active dogs too.
