I was born around pets, and grew up with them. Being around dogs has always been natural and normal for me, and I've always loved them. Growing up I had 2 labrador/chow mix, and a cat. Currently I own 1 shih tzu puppy, and a kitten. I can tell when they need to go out, when they're hungry, or when they want to play and I am used to doing all of those things for them. I'm very gentle with animals and would never hurt or mistreat them. My goal is to not only make sure the dog has everything they need, but also make sure they feel comfortable and able to trust me. This summer I'm available everyday except for vacation, so my schedule is flexible.
