About this sitter: I spent almost 10 years as a zookeeper working with anything from lions and tigers to meerkats and kangaroos. I have also had many furry friends of my own. I grew up on a farm, was in 4-H, and raised rabbits, dairy feeders, and steers. I now live in a duplex that has a small fenced in grassy area for dogs to play in and enjoy. I am also very close to a park with several miles of trails. I am currently a high school teacher and work from 7:30-4:30 with plenty of time after to care for your pet family. I love animals and have a great respect for them. I also have an 15 year old boy who is with me half the time and loves animals just as much as I do. I currently have no pets of my own so I look forward to spending time with your furry loved ones! :) Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover all my life. I've grown up with them and around them. We always had dogs when I was younger and I enjoyed having my own after college.
