There are several reasons why I am an awesome pet-sitter. I had a dog for sixteen years growing up, giving me experience early on about caring, walking, grooming, and the proper way to interact with dogs. I am extremely conscious of a dog's comfort; if he or she needs to go outside or avoid another dog during a walk, I will be looking for those signs. Having a pet is amazing, and I truly miss being around animals, so this is more of an activity I love doing rather than a job. I am also very responsible; I am a full-time student at Northwestern where I effectively split my time studying, managing a theatre collective, and conducting independent research in a lab on campus. This lends to my punctuality due to an organized schedule. I am available in the afternoons, but I am willing to do mornings if necessary!
