I am a responsible graduate student who loves dogs. I have grown up all my life taking care of family pets and pet sitting for friends. I love getting to know animals and understanding their unique personalities. I believe that open and upfront communication is important for a solid working relationship. In addition, when sitting, I like to give pets a mix of activities- Going down the road to the dog park, playing in the backyard, and relaxing inside. I live in a house with a few of my classmates who also love dogs. My class schedule is variable depending on the day and I have breaks in between classes long enough that I can go home and check up on your pup. I prefer that dogs don't go on our furniture or beds and that they have a crate, especially if they are not completely house trained.
