I have years of experience watching friends animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds etc. I also volunteer at the animal shelter here and previously at a wildlife care center in Ames, Iowa. I am currently a PhD student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. While I am very busy working, I can really take my work anywhere with me. This allows me the flexibility to work around any schedule! If your dog comes to stay with me they will be treated like part of the family! Lots of yard time, walks, trips to the dog park if your dog enjoys such things. We generally go to the dog park a few times a week, my husband comes along so we have enough people to keep an eye on multiple dogs. I truly love all creatures and will make it my main priority to make sure your pet is given the best care possible while you are away!
