Growing up there were always lots of pets in my home- 3 cats, lizards, fish, and of course a dog. Once I was old enough, it became one of my primary responsibilities to help care for our dog and take him on daily walks. Unfortunately my dog passed away a few years ago, but I have so many cherished memories with him and I understand how a pet is truly a valued part of the family. I have experience dog and cat sitting for family friends when I would come home from college on holiday and summer breaks. Now that I am starting my post-graduate life unfortunately petless, I would love to spend time with animals by providing quality care for the furry family members of others.
