I have kept dogs all my life as pets and know the work involved in looking after a dog and keeping them healthy. Diet, exercise and playtime are key as well as understanding your dog's needs on a deeper level when they are trying to communicate with you. I recently lost my dog and cannot have to keep one now, due to changes in living circumstances. I miss the interaction and unconditional love that we get from dogs and this would be an ideal opportunity for me to spend some time with dogs again and gain external experience too. I had my dog for nearly 10 years and previously, another dog for nearly 13 years. I also have a cat who is now 10 years old and can also look after your cat. (I do not have any experience in a work setting yet and am looking to build up my portfolio)
