I am a responsible and reliable recent college graduate who loves spending time with and taking care of animals. As the owner of an 11-year-old teacup Yorkshire Terrier who I helped raise since he was 8-weeks old, I have much experience dealing with (sometimes difficult) small dogs, and making sure that they get the care and attention they need. I have also spent time with dogs of various larger sizes. I have cared for dogs who are potty-trained such as my own, as well as dogs who need frequent walks to go to the bathroom and release their energy. I have experience administering both oral and aural medications to dogs. I am particularly familiar with upper Manhattan neighborhoods, their dog parks, and other pleasant spots to spend time with a dog outdoors. In addition, I have cared for fish, mice, hamsters, cats, and chinchillas. Looking forward to meeting your furry friends!
