I have always had animals in my home growing up, I had a chow chow and a Yorkshire terrier, and now currently I have a Shitzu named Shelly and a Himalayan cat named Dolly. I love caring for animals and see them as an important part of the family, they are so much more than just pets. I go to the University of Washington so my schedule is pretty flexible during the weekdays/weekends and I am able to easily work around my class schedule since I don't have classes on Mondays and only have one class on Fridays. In terms of special skills, I am very patient and have had lots of experience with dogs of all shapes and sized and varying personalities as well.
