I previously owned a dog for over 10 years and I have cared for other people's pets since I was a kid. I simply love being around animals, caring for them, and keeping them company. I am easy to communicate with and am able to get to and from locations quickly therefore this is an ideal job for me, especially being a graduate student. My schedule is extremely flexible throughout the week and weekend. I believe that I am an ideal candidate because i understand the pet's needs and I am easy to communicate with.
