- Offer companionship, enrichment, and lots of affection!
- Maintain a clean, safe environment and handle minor cleaning tasks related to pet care.

- Confidence working with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including large and giant breeds.
- Comfortable handling dogs with behavioral challenges (training provided).
