I have been pet-sitting and house sitting for family and friends since I was 16. Since then I've built a consistent relationship with the pets I've taken care of and their owners. I have two dogs of my own, and through caring for them I have learned how to train new behaviors in dogs specifically. I am a local college student, so my schedule is rigid as far as attending class, but I do have a lot of free time to walk and play with animals on a daily or weekly basis! My two dogs at home are very loved and taken care of. They get at least one walk a day and lots of play time either inside or outside. I have one dog that is crated and one dog that is not, so I am used to both. I am also comfortable giving medicine to a pet, as one of my dogs requires a daily medication.
