I am a grad student at UW and generally have a very flexible schedule. I'm originally from North Carolina, but I've been living in Seattle for 6 years, and I've had my dog Stormy for around 4 years. I can handle a relatively large & strong high-energy, prey-driven dog (that's what my goofball is like), but I'm also happy to take it slower with a smaller breed, senior dog, or puppy. Although I have a car (i.e., I could reliably get your pet to an emergency vet if needed), I would prefer to work with pets that are in my apartment (Stack House) or a neighboring building. I've cared for cats, fish, and a snake and an iguana, and would happily help with your non-dog pets.
