Hello! I'm an engineering student on summer break. I'm vegan, and have years of experience fostering dogs from the shelter. I've had dogs for all of my life up until I moved for school and miss my pups. I have experience caring for both big Australian Shepherd size dogs and also super small pups. I don't view animals as lesser-than or any thing weird like that. Having had several animals in my life growing up, I know every dog has their own personality and it's a process of getting them to trust me, which leads to them enjoying the time spent in your absence. Any one can watch an animal, but it takes extra care to get them not to worry while you're away, and in turn leads to you not worrying.
