I love dogs. I believe in the philosophy that you cannot be sad or lonely if you have a dog. I can't have a dog on my lease, and I am going through dog withdrawals. I would love to pet sit, walk, and take care of your pets! I have had my own golden retriever and an Australian Shepherd. I also have pet sat for my neighbors whenever they go on vacation for the past 15 years. While in college, I fostered dogs and pet sat for my friends with dogs. I love the outdoors, and I would love to jog/run/walk with a dog. I am very tall and pretty athletic so I am not scared to handle large dogs. I have extensive experience working with animals from the field in Madagascar, to local animal shelters, to wildlife refuges in Ecuador. I am also dedicated to studying animals and the environment.
