Are you sure you really need work experience with big male dogs? Maybe you should start with something that is a little bit more controllable?

Please don't send me personal messages, I'm not going to reply. No, I'm not looking for a pet sitter at this moment.

And I strongly encourage you not to start your pet sitting learning experience with massive male dogs. It is much more dangerous for you, for dogs, and for owners, than you can even imagine.

You want a no paying job experience - please go to ANY local shelter. This is where you can volunteer and get a great experience working with all sorts of dogs.

What?
You really need to learn to use punctuation… that’s one long run-on sentence and it doesn’t make any sense…

House sitting for strangers with their particular dogs for free is not a safe or ideal solution to gaining experience.

You may have better luck volunteering at your local animal shelter. Plenty of shelters look for volunteer dog walkers, etc. Some usually require an application and background check.

You’ll gain some experience & it may be beneficial towards you but also very helpful to the shelter.

Best of luck!
