I have been the primary caretaker for my gentlemanly cairn terrier Duffy for 7 years. I've also watched dogs with Wag! and Rover for years, and had great experiences. (Like a dog, I love playing catch and going for long walks.) I am a poet, teacher, and nanny with an MFA in Poetry from Boston University and a BA in English Literature from Wesleyan University. In March, I am moving to New York to start a part-time after-school teaching job, and am hoping to care for pets during the other hours of the day. Animals add so much beauty and joy to my life. As a pet-carer I'm sensitive, affectionate, responsible, and playful. I would give your pet plenty of belly scratches while you're away.
