I volunteer walking dogs at the local animal shelter and am a foster for a sweet, laid back senior dog. I am comfortable taking care of all types of dogs-large or small, and am willing to watch pets in their home or my apartment (must be cat friendly to stay at my place-I have two cats). I grew up with several dogs and cats and LOVE spending time with animals. I have lots of experience taking care of cats, dogs, small animals, and even alpacas! I have a lot of patience and am a very responsible, reliable caretaker. I am currently a graduate student at UT, but I have time available throughout the day to take care of animals and give them plenty of attention.
