Over the course of twelve years, I have cared for my 25 pound chihuahua mix Suzie through routine walks, companionship, and potty-training during her puppy age. She currently resides in Chicago during my residence in Iowa City. I have a thorough background in dog-care; from March 2019-August 2019, I routinely volunteered at Paws Chicago three times a week for three hours where I provided companionship for dogs, assisted in chores such as cleaning, laundry and walking, administered adoption processes while providing resources for new pet owners, and administered specialized care to animals under the direct supervision of veterinarians. Later from June 2019-January 2020, I offered dog walking services to families across the Chicago area. I have worked with a large variety of dog sizes, energy, medical statuses, and age ranging from senior pekingese to young labradors.
