Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. Although I do not currently have a pet of my own because I am a student, I grew up with dogs my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and needs. What sets me apart from other sitters is both my experience and the amount of time I have dedicated to animal care and volunteering. I began volunteering at animal shelters over six years ago, and I have completed a 10-hour training program to become a certified volunteer at my college town’s humane society. Through these experiences, I have worked with many different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. I am comfortable walking multiple dogs at once, as I have experience taking care of multiple dogs from the same household. I also took care of a 12 week old puppy for a month, which gave me experience with younger dogs and the patience and consistency they require. Additionally, I am very comfortable caring for deaf and/or blind dogs and making sure they feel safe and supported. My childhood dog became blind later in life, so I understand how important gentleness, attentiveness, and routine are when caring for senior or disabled pets. Above all, I treat every pet like they are my own, and I will prioritize making them feel loved, comfortable, and cared for while you are away.
