I am a lifelong animal lover and I have grown up surrounded by animals my whole life. I have experience with young active pets as well as der pets and pets with special needs. I have experience watching dogs overnight, including feeding, taking them out at any hour to use the bathroom, walking, and giving them all the pets they want! I even have experience dressing dogs in their favorite outfits, for the fashionable pups out there. As a former collegiate cross country and track and field runner, I am happy to walk a dog up and down the street, or for miles and miles. I love all animals of all kinds, and besides dogs, I would love to care for pets of all shapes and sizes, especially cats! I am currently a graduate student studying occupational therapy, and my compassionate nature that drew me to this field is the compassion I've learned from loving animals.
