I'd be good at dog walking and pet sitting because I'm already used to taking care of animals. I ride horses, so I'm comfortable handling animals and sticking to routines. I also have my own dog, so I know how to walk, feed, and care for pets every day. I'm reliable, calm, and genuinely love being around animals.
