I have had frequent contact with my aunt's golden retriever from bringing her home as a puppy when I was 11, to her sad passing of old age just before Christmas. I helped to train her to do basic commands, such as sit, stay, and lay down. My aunt has now two puppies, a golden retriever and a miniature dachshund, both of which I help to toilet train, feed, and look after on a weekly basis. I am no stranger to dog walking, having frequent walks with my aunt's old dog, and I have no doubt I will assist in walking the two new puppies from time to time as well. I know how to play, but also know how to be firm, and believe I would be a great candidate for pet sitting and walking.
