Having grown up with dogs (currently a Sheltie) my whole life, I know this in's and out's, do's and don'ts of taking care of precious pets. I know all dogs are different, I'm a pro at finding their favorite scratch spot, and I know not to leave bread on the edge of a table! I've walked and taken care of dogs (everything from labs, to miniature poodles, to border collies) since I was in middle school, so I'm not new to the job. I'm comfortable with (and love) dogs of all sizes. Additionally, I have flexible hours (available during the daytime most days!) since I'm a grad student. Fun pup fact about me: I trained my childhood dog to jump over hurdles like a true agility dog!
