About: I’ve grown up with dogs and trained puppies since I was little. I have continued living with roommates with dogs after moving away from home, and love helping out with watching and walking them. I wish I could have my own dog but my current circumstances would not be the best for it, so I treat every dog I interact with with the same love that I would give my own! :) I currently have a full time job and work Monday-Friday from 8am to 5pm. I can check on pets during my lunch break if you are located in Marathon. My weekends are usually free and I can come by or stay for most of the day. I can follow any directions you have for your pet! I know everyone is different, and every pet is different, so I am very flexible when it comes to care. One thing across the board is I will give your pets lots of love and attention :)
