I am 23 years old, a member of Team USA and a huge animal person! I have had experience with many of my own animals (birds, rodents, reptiles, cats, and of course dogs!) I have also had a lot of previous experience with pet sitting and dog walking and caring for elderly dogs. I have previously volunteered over 100 hours at the Medfield Animal shelter while I was in high school. I also was in 4-H growing up. (Dog club, Cavy and rabbit club, poultry club, and sheep club) I trained my dog to receive her good citizenship award (the first step to becoming a service dog) I understand that your dog is a part of your family and leaving a pet in someone else's care can make time away from home stressful. -I would be happy to follow any special requests about the care for your dog to make sure your dog gets the best care possible. -If requested I will send updates on your dog, to you, while you are away. -When pet sitting I like to have the mind set that your dog is on vacation and will be treated that way. -You can rest assure that your dog will be in good hands with me.
