Aside from me growing up with a Chow-chow and German Shepard mix, I've found that a lot of my adult and career experience (physician assistant/associate student ) has been geared towards children and seniors which dogs are similar to in the way that they cannot care for themselves. Now in graduate school this idea of advocacy is super important to me! Being able to be your dogs advocate, walk, and cuddle buddy are all ways I would care for your dog. As a sitter I understand that being attentive, compassionate, and keen are all the right steps in the right direction. For years I took care of my neighbors pets when they were recovering from surgery so I know what it takes if you choose to put trust in me!
