My family and I have been around dogs (and cats) our entire lives. A love for animals has lead me to pursue my current masters degree. I have a large amount of experience caring for and handling dogs and cats as I was once a veterinary assistant for 2 years during my summer breaks as an undergraduate student. Additionally, I spent four years throughout high-school volunteering at a local animal shelter. Both experiences have given me a diverse background in animal care where I have spent time with many different dogs each with their own special personalities and needs. Also, my time around my own family's pets and as a veterinary assistant has allowed me to become more proficient in recognizing when a dog is exhibiting unusual behavior and given me an upper hand in figuring out what the issue may be. My week days tend to be less busy compared to the weekends. However, my schedule is currently very open as I am a recent graduate student looking to begin my professional career. I live in a secure home and area near parks and museums where I would gladly take your dog for walks!
