I'm a college student full of love and passion for dogs! My family has owned dogs for my entire life, and I've been dog-sitting since the around the age of 13. I personally trained my golden retriever as a puppy, and we became a certified Pet Partners team. This led to a volunteer position in our local library helping kids improve their reading skills with my dog. Over the past four years, I have worked as a childcare provider at three separate homes and also provided care for the families' dogs. I have also worked at a shop that sold dog products, providing me with additional knowledge of dog breeds, skills for training, and local resources for pet owners. I'm patient, active, and experienced in all areas of dog care. My family has owned dogs as small as an American Eskimo and as large as a Samoyed, so I'm comfortable with any sized animal.
