I have had dogs almost my entire life and I am 27 years old. I cared for my last two dogs until they both passed away about 5 years ago. I now have rescued and care for 6 cats. I have an immense love and respect for animals of all kinds. I also had the opportunity to intern at 6 flags great adventure and learn animal training techinques. I've house sat numerous times with older dogs with disabilities (blind, low physical movement, low appetite), and rescue dogs with high anxiety and trust issues. I have been trusted by many of my friends and clients with permanent keys to their homes, in the event that they need me unexpectedly to feed or walk their animal. I love taking long walks through parks, the woods, and on the beach. I do work part-time and I am a full-time graduate student. However, I still have a bunch of free time in my schedule and am very willing to work with yours!
