I always grew up with pets. Our house was never full unless we had at least two dogs, cats, a horse, and, at one point, sheep. I have become very familiar with animals over time, and even when I was young, I gladly petsit for people around my neighborhood. I didn't do it for the extra money, I took care of other people's pets just for the joy I got out of it. As a UCSB student, I do not currently have a dog living in my home, she is back at my parents' house, where, whenever I'm home, she gets as much love, attention, and walks as I can give her. I have experience with dog training, as my dog, Phoebe, became Canine Good Citizen, Advanced Canine Good Citizen, and Therapy Dog Certified through the American Kennel Club and I became a certified handler. I have always had a passion for caring for animals and I hope to see your furry friends soon!
