I have had dogs since before I can remember. They have always been a part of my family, and I will always have dogs in my home. I have a degree in Zoo & Wildlife Biology, and am currently working as a full-time zookeeper at the Cincinnati Zoo. I have experience caring for, training, feeding, and medicating several hundred species of animals. I am very good at reading animals, and would provide excellent care for your pup. I love cuddling animals, so your dog (or other pets) will receive as much physical affection as they want from me. I am very patient and tolerant. My goal while I watch your pets is to help keep their lives as normal as possible while they wait for your return!
