A student who wants to be with dogs
Pet care experience
I've grown up with dogs always in my life. I always had to be partially responsible for my family dogs by walking and feeding them, and in high school I started fostering dogs as well. In 2020 my family adopted one of my foster puppies and I was the main person in my family responsible for walking, training, and caring for her. In my first year of college I also puppy sat four days a week starting when the puppy was 8 weeks old.

Thanks for taking Bubba in last minute!
Mary, my daughter, has demonstrated an deep understanding and commitment to dogs since we adopted our family pet when Mary was 8. She has advocated for fostering dogs and was the sole reason that our family began fostering puppies during the pandemic. She educated herself on the process, the care needed and was key influencer in who we selected for adoption of the dogs we fostered. We adopted our own (second) dog and Mary takes amazing care of both her animals. She parlayed this love into a job her freshman year caring for a puppy during the week. Providing walks, care and love, Mary completely bonded with this dog who goes crazy when he sees her on the streets of Seattle now. She is an excellent candidate for your program.
Mary is a loving and attentive dog caregiver. She cares deeply about the dogs she is with and treats them as her own. Together, we spent the prior spring with a lab-husky puppy who we spent upwards of 30 hours a week with. I firsthand witnessed Mary's caring nature and responsibility for this pup over the span of 3 months where she walked, fed, and monitored the dog for up to 8 hours a day. Mary is a wonderful dog sitter who I would definitely have watch my own dog without hesitation!
