I am a current graduate student at Brandeis looking to provide loving care for others' pets, while I am separated from my dog back home. I split my time between Waltham/Watertown and Brighton/Allston and am happy to provide services in either area. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up in a household of biologists with a rotating menagerie that included turtles, lizards, snakes, chickens, dogs, and ducks. As a former farm animal shelter farmhand and dog/cat shelter volunteer, I have extensive experience with animals of all shapes and sizes. I have cared for all sorts of pets, ranging from cantankerous cats to large labs. I have experience walking dogs of all sizes, as well as caring for pets of all ages. I enjoy walks, jogs, and runs and can accommodate your dog's exercise and linguistic (Spanish, French, English, Hungry) needs :P. Additionally, I understand that different pets have different needs and am very committed to accommodating your pets physical abilities, medication needs, and level of sociability.
