About: Hello there! I love all animals! During the school year I am a special education teacher and so I am not home enough to have my own pet. Growing up I’ve always had dogs and so I miss spending time with dogs. So many of my friends have suggested being a pet sitter! I have a pretty active lifestyle, and I do like going for walks or runs with animals. I think I am pretty playful, I could honestly play with animals for hours. I am a fun lover, but also a rule follower, and collaborator so I will work with what you, your pets, and/or house may need. I am excited to start this journey and work with you! Thank you for reading this!
