I am 21 years old and have been around animals my whole life. I was given a dog for my fifth birthday and with my mom's help, I was responsible for feeding her and training her. I cared for her until she died of old age. Since then my family has had several other dogs of all shapes, sizes and breeds, with varying medical needs. We currently have four dogs (a chihuahua, a shihtzu poodle, a jack russel terrier mix and an English mastiff). I love dogs with all my heart and like to go the extra mile to ensure they're as happy and comfortable as can be. I love being outdoors and would gladly take them to parks, hiking trails, the river, etc to get out and get exercise. Of course extras like brushing, washing bedding, checking for ticks, etc are all included. I'm not afraid to handle dogs of any temperament or size, so bring on the puppy love! I also have experience with geckos, hamsters, rats, birds, guinea pigs, hogs, horses, cattle and chickens. ***Please note I do have a job that occasionally requires me to be on call, which may effect my overnight availability.
