Dog owner, animal volunteer: The Amanda Foundation, Clear the Shelters, Woofstock, the Jane Goodall Institute, Save the Elephants. Affectionate animal lover allowing dogs on covered furniture to snuggle, sleep in bed with me and take long walks. VCA employee loves all dogs. I've been taking care of dogs for 25-years, grew up with dogs and volunteer with animal organizations. I will take very good care of your furry family member and completely understand the anxiety of leaving your beloved pet while traveling or away for long periods of time. I went everywhere with my sweet dog and thoroughly enjoyed her company. I like the company of dogs but travel a bit for my work, so am not able to have my own on a full-time basis.
