On top of being an overall animal lover and growing up with dogs of my own, I worked for 4 years as a seasonal kennel attendant and dog walker through high school and college; I graduated with a degree in animal science, and have worked for the last 5+ years as the primary animal caretakers for a collection of 50+ education animals at a nature center--everything from fish, frogs, reptiles, birds, and small mammals. I have been dog/house sitting for the past 10 years, for family, friends, and co workers. I have always loved dogs, and unfortunately am not able to keep one at my current apartment--so I look forward to providing your pet all the cuddles, belly rubs, and walks I have to give!
