I am a kind, compassionate, and caring individual who has grown up around dogs for most of my life including a Labrador Retriever and Beagle. Unfortunately, both have since passed but I am hoping to share my love, time, and attention with other animals who may be in need of a sitter, a walk, or just a drop in visit. I often serve as a sitter for family and friends while they are away and even lived with a veterinary medical student during my graduate studies; caring for her animals (i.e., cats, dogs, and exotics) while she traveled. I have some personal experience working with aging and medically complex dogs, as my Beagle had a rare form of cancer and required an increased level of care toward the end of his life.
