I am a 22-year-old UCSB graduate working an 8-5 job as a surgical assistant at the hospital nearby, so I'm free to stop at home during my lunch breaks to say hello to your pup! My family always had a minimum of two dogs in the house, and I loved every minute of it. If that wasn't enough, I also worked for a boarding kennel as the dog walker in my spare time. I've spent my entire life loving animals, and spent my time with all types of dogs, big or small. As a part-time mommy to a beautiful golden retriever- lab mix, I've been able to keep myself surrounded with all the doggie love I could ever want. I've worked with trainers as well, and am confident that I can provide your pup with a positive, loving, and active environment while you're away! My current living situation has a small and friendly Italian grey-hound mix who loves to play all day, so even while I'm at work, your pup will never be completely alone!
