I am a student at LaGuardia, working towards my second degree (A.S. in Bio) and I have lots of free time! Couldn't think of a better way to spend it than with your dog and/or cat :) I have plenty of experience working with all sorts of dogs, from Cavachons to Huskies to anything beyond or in between. As a child, I was glued to Animal Planet; you could always catch me after school, at 4 PM, to tune into Emergency Vets (like any other 6 year old... right?) By the time I was 9, my parents finally got us a puppy, Molly. We had her for almost fourteen year and she was a wonder, my first furry best friend. She had arthritis for 13 years of her life, so I was always sure to keep a keen eye for her comfort while going for walks, and taking appropriate times to rest. I now have a dog of my own (a fulfilled dream!) who is an absolute sweetheart. Her name is Maizey and she is my sidekick in life. We adopted her from North Shore Animal League at four months old, so we've worked through (and are still working through!) a few behavioral issues. Patience is a virtue! There's also seriously nothing cuter than a dog/cat BFF duo. If you have a cat, rest assured, I have experience with those little toe-beaned cuties as well. My parents have two cats whom I've helped raise from itty bitty kittens to the grumpy fatties they are today. A former roommate of mine also had an elder cat who had diabetes - while unfortunate, I've learned how to administer medications, like insulin shots, to a cat.
