I've been around animals from a very young age. As a child, we had huskies and a sled dog team in Michigan, along with other dogs from shi tzus to labs. I've done it all from house-sitting with dogs to just dropping by to give 'em some snuggles while their owners are at work. I have an Australian shepherd, so I have experience with higher energy dogs. I'm a current student at UCLA and was in the military for 5 years. I'm extremely motivated, very responsible, and I have a strong understanding of the importance that your dog means to you, they're family!! I have also lived with and cared for cats for about 20 years (I got my first cat at 7, and he was solely my responsibility). So if you have cats, I would gladly take care of them as well. If you have any additional questions, feel free to reach out.
