Be in service to someone or something without expecting anything in return.

For me it is my dog.

Unless you don't like your dog, this ironically just sounds like an excuse for caring about no one but yourself.

I don't understand. Could you elaborate?

How I see it, taking care of a pet usually requires lots of effort and selflessness. You need to make sacrifices and stay consistent. E.g. with a dog, sometimes you have to go for a walk even if you'd prefer to stay at home and watch TV. All this seems to me the opposite of taking care about only yourself.
