Hello! I am currently a grad student at Penn and have been the go-to person for dog sitting, walking, and the occasional photography shoot. Even my boss has me stay at his house for a month to care for his family dog while they're on vacation. I don't usually travel on major holidays so I'm around when most others may not be. Everyone who knows me can tell you how much I love to be around dogs! Just something about the way they look right at you, wagging their tails excitedly.... it just triggers a rush of oxytocin (the infamous love hormone). You know what I mean! I couldn’t have a dog growing up but I would take care of my cousin’s dog for 4-6 months at a time while he went on business trips. Between that and my current dog sitting jobs for friends, I've done a lot of walking, basic grooming, and most importantly, snuggling (dog-permitted). PS- I am starting a "Dogs of Philly" photoblog... please let me know if you would be interested in participating!
