I'm a 26-year-old university student studying Wildlife biology at the U of I. I was raised on a small farm in Washington and have spent my entire life caring for a variety of different animals (dogs, cats, rabbits, goats, chickens, pigeons, and more). Animals are my passion and I have an incredibly caring heart for any kind of animal. I have my own 5 year old hound dog, Moses, that I've raised since he was a pup, as well as a cat in my home. My dog is extremely friendly and gets along well with all other dogs. I live in an apartment but have access to a large courtyard for potty breaks and take my own dog to a fenced park each day to play ball or run around, in addition to a daily walk. I am comfortable around any size or breed of dog, and have experience caring for pregnant dogs, litters of puppies, and senior dogs. I also have experience administering medication to dogs and puppies. I am responsible and trustworthy and can be counted on to provide care for your pets, diligently following any instructions provided by the owner. As a student I have a reasonable amount of free time to be able to check in with or walk dogs at various times during the day. I have great communication skills and can be easily reached during the day.
