I’ve been taking care of dogs for twenty years. As a 26 year old, that’s quite an accomplishment. I’ve owned 4 dogs (at once, no less!) and cared for cats and dogs since the age of six. I started simple, letting my neighbor’s dog’s out for a few dollars a week. Now I (and my mother when I’m at work) care for a number of animals in the neighborhood, cats and dogs alike, as well as house sitting.
And there are people running Dog Day Care professionally? Where the hell do I sign up?
I love dogs. My perfect day is going to a dog-park and playing with EVERYBODY. I miss having a dog (my last passed last year), but I have a cat for the first time in over 15 years who I love. She gets along with the occasional pooches who crash at my place, so no worries there.
Seriously, do I have to take a class to work at a place like this? I can take a class.
Three of my dogs were quite old when they died, so I’m no stranger to dealing with elderly animals. We also bred two of my dalmatians together, so I’ve been around all stages of puppyhood too. One of them was abused, as were some of the dogs I pet-sit, so I can handle those as well.
Really, where’s the application? I’ll scoop poo and clean vomit if that’s where I’ve gotta start.
There’s Camp Bow-Wow pretty near my place, and it seems to do pretty well. Do they need a well educated dog-exerciser? 20 years experience, no waiting!
Huh, that sounds off.
Maybe I should operate out of my home. Drop your pooch off, pick ‘em up at the end of the day. All day they can play in the yard, the house, with me, get fed, get medicated, take a nap--whatever they want. If I could make a job of that, I’d be one happy person.
I’m gonna look into the licensing thing. I’d love nothing more than to be around animals. Forever.
And it only took me 26 years to figure out my ideal job. Too bad I finished school first.
