I've always grown up with pets of all sizes especially dogs. This involved feeding them, spending time with them, etc. I love all animals and am well versed in what it means to take care of them. I love spending time with them and don't mind if they sleep in the bed or on the couch with me! I have house sat many times and stayed there while I took care of the dogs. I am available mornings typically and later at night, but I do not mind staying at the house while owners are away. I am from PA but currently live in NJ for graduate school for the next two years. My hours are very flexible because of my current school schedule as well.
