I've been caring for and working with animals since elementary school. I have experience house sitting, dog sitting and dog walking, cat sitting, volunteering with rescue horses, caring for chickens, and even working on a goat farm, all in addition to having dogs (and guinea pigs!) of my own. I've cared for a range of dogs - from dogs as small as pugs, to large livestock dogs like Kangals and Anatolian shepherds. All of the animals I have ever had myself have been rescues - so I'm accustomed to animals with "special needs" and I'm especially accustomed to dogs with high energy (one of my dogs was a boxer). I'm a grad student so I tend to have flexible hours, and I own my own car, so if your dog ever needs a ride, I'm be happy to provide that as well. I really enjoy working with and taking care of animals, and I'm excited to be of service to you and your furry friend!
