I am 20 years old and have taken care of various pets for most of my life. I have had personal experience owning and caring for bearded dragons, tropical fish, gerbils, hermit crabs, and dogs. However, I consider myself an animal lover and have had knowledge and experience with a range of other animals from common farm animals to wild Oliver Ridley turtles in Costa Rica. I, therefore, understand the care and attention that different animals require, but I also put their happiness at the top of my priorities. My family dog is a 4 year old fox red labrador who I have helped train and raise since she was 8 weeks old so I would be very happy to take care of puppies too. I also have a severely autistic brother so I have personal experience with disabilities and how to use dogs as a stress coping mechanism. I love meeting new animals and I look forward to help care for your animal.
