Since the age of 7, I have been constantly surrounded by dogs which in turn, has made my life fun and exciting. When taking care of dogs I believe the best way to care for them is with love, letting them know that you are not a threat, but a friend to them. There is nothing as fulfilling than seeing a dog running around a park, walking on a trail or chasing a ball because to me, those dogs are the happiest and deserve to be too. I am an active person who loves to hike, run and walk in my spare time which makes me a dogs favorite person to hang out with. I also am a fan of curling up on the couch with a book, and even more so when there's a dog to sit on my lap and keep me company. While studying International Studies at St. Mary's College of California in Moraga, I tend to miss my dog (who lives with my parents) quite often and therefore have made time available to take care of those dogs who need it in the area. My class load is light this upcoming semester, giving me time to take your dog for a walk, run or nap throughout the week and weekends.
