Hello! My name is Alena and I am a Senior at the University of Michigan, who has always had a love for dogs. My family has had three Great Danes, so I am used to a big, slobbery, sweet dogs. At the age of twelve, I started walking my neighbors' dogs (in Valparaiso, Indiana). In the past eight years, my dog "business" has grown, and I have taken care of over thirty different dogs--ranging from dachshunds to mastiffs. My business ranged from daily walks to house sitting with dogs. Each of my dogs hold a special place in my heart, and I can identify each dog by his or her bark. I also ran at the University of Michigan last year, so I love running with energetic dogs. I work my schedule to fit any dog's needs, and I love getting to meet and care for new pets! I am a full-time student, so my schedule changes daily. I do have my own car, so I can drive to different places. I miss my dog dearly, so I would love to get to know your pets!
