I have taken care of dogs since I was born! My family had a particular love for black labs and one Irish red setter but I have experience with many breeds! On top of taking care of my own personal dogs, I would volunteer at my local humane society walking and playing with the dogs there. I have successfully potty trained two of my own dogs along with the sit command, stay, lay down and the fun ‘high five.’ I am very comfortable caring for animals with special needs such as medication requirements, special diet, etc. I am most open weekends any time and weekdays mostly likely after 5 or maybe periodically throughout the day. I will be a grad student at UNE in the PA program mostly being in the Portland campus so in between classes would love to pop over to help or give walks! I would be more than willing to go to your home and abide by the rules you have set for your companions! I unfortunately cannot have pets at my home.
