I had a 12 year old dog of my own that I’ve had since she was a puppy whom I absolutely love, sadly due to medical issues she left me in October 2020. Aside from her I’ve grown up having dogs around my entire life. I started volunteering at a nearby animal shelter in March 2018. In spending time with the dogs there I’ve come to realize how much I enjoy walking them and keeping them company and treating them to a day out. I also enjoy attending different local events with dogs from the shelter as an adoption ambassador in an attempt to help them find their forever family. It is rewarding when you walk in and the dogs are happy and excited to see you and looking forward to another adventure. Knowing that a dogs’ day has been made brighter because I was able to spend some time walking or playing with them brings me joy. I do work a full time job in addition to providing pet care. I am required to be at my job Monday-Friday from 8:30am-5:00pm. My time is split between an office in Torrington and an office in Avon. If a house stay is located close to the office I am happy to provide a short mid day potty break.
