I've had pets my entire life and was taught at a young age how to care for animals. I was a neighborhood dog walker from ages 14-17. Then I moved to a new neighborhood and became a dog walker there. There were sprinkles of pet sitting in here and I have had an assortment of dogs and cats as pets throughout my life.
