I have watched pets for many of my neighbors, family members and friends for many years. I walk the dogs, give them medication if it is needed, feed them and play with them. I also have had a dog for my entire life. A Golden Retriever for the first 14 years of my life and for the last six years, a wonderful Mutt we saved from an animal shelter, and now a new mutt we rescued. I also am a volunteer at the Animal Resource Center in Dayton Ohio and have been since I was 13 years old (10 years). I feed the dogs, walk them, play with them and just give them all the attention and love they deserve. I am in the process of applying to volunteer at a Columbus animal shelter, Pets Without Parents. I currently work at the Ohio State College of Veterinary Medicine as well! And of course, I am a self proclaimed animal lover!
