My best friend when I was younger was a black lab named Buddy. When we had to give him away after an incident, I almost forgot how much I loved dogs. But recently (within the past 2 years), my parents adopted a gorgeous, sassy corgi named Emily, and my brother adopted a wild-child puppy named JD. Without a doubt, I'm a dog person - I love everything about all dogs, from the spunky ones to those that would rather sleep most of the day. I love having a companion for exercise and being shown/showing affection for any dog. Currently I'm available every day, all day; this will change when I start graduate school in the fall, with some time taken for class, homework, and being a teaching assistant. I have very high patience and energy levels, and I promise to take care of your dog(s) as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting any and all the pooches I take care of in the future!
