I have worked as a pet sitter for years while in college, but have been caring for animals since I was a child. I am happy to take pets on hikes or to the beach, and can check on pets at anytime. I'll walk to the pets' comfort and activity level, including jogging for several minutes if desired. As a biology grad who worked with animals, I feel comfortable caring for many animals of every age and size. I'm used to large dogs, including over 100 pounds, but am comfortable with small ones as well. I enjoy hiking and spending time with dogs. I have a car, and am able to transport animals if necessary.
