As a child, I was inseparable from the black laborador my parents adopted when I was 3. We were raised together and spent 13 years as best friends. Animals are a source of such joy and comfort and really are a part of the family. While I can't wait until I can have my own pets, I am a graduate student who travels internationally for field work and I am therefore not able to make the commitment (which I take really seriously). I love to love on animals so I pet sit for fun until the day I'm ready to be a forever home. I've been an animal lover my whole life and I look forward to taking good care of your beloved animal friends.
