Growing up, I lived in a household with numerous animals of all shapes and sizes. My mother and I would seek out pets in need from farms around the area and bring them into our home. Dealing with dogs and cats has taught me compassion, love, appreciation and patience. Although I now live near my college, I am eager to go home on the weekends to play with my pup Freckles and hold my furry cat Prince. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from shitzus to great danes. From years of handling plants at the family nursery, I've developed a grip strong enough to withstand the pull of a large pooch. I love to run in the trails at the park and I am all for taking pups along with me. I am also a guitar player and singer so I will be providing live entertainment for any pups that grace my home. When I am not busy with school or work I enjoy hiking, songwriting and surfing with my girlfriend.
