I am an elementary school Speech-Language Pathologist and am looking to do some part-time dog walking/dog sitting work in the evenings, on weekends, and for overnights. I have had family dogs since I was born and my family currently has a 10-year-old golden retriever back home in Maine. She lived with me in college where I was the sole caregiver for her. I dog sat for a golden retriever in Vermont for two years, and recently cared for a 4-month-old hound puppy for two weeks. I have always been comfortable around dogs and am very active with them. I spent the past 3 summers dog sitting through Rover for both older dogs and puppies. I am allergic to cats and cannot care for them, but I have experience with fish, hamsters, chickens, and reptiles.
