I have dog sat rescue dogs in my mom's friend's house. While they were away I slept over and took care of her such as taking her out for walks or to the park and I also fed her. I overall loved her as my own. When there was an emergency we took her to the vet, so I am well-aware of what should happen in any sticky situation.

At the age of three, I develop a fear of dogs due to a biting incident from a neighbor's dog. When I was 10, my mother had me walk my neighbor's dogs every morning at 6 a.m. for the summer in order to help me overcome my fear of dogs. And I did! I ended up wanting to adopt my own dog, but with all the responsibilities of taking...
