Hi, my name is Lissy and I'm a student at Penn State University. When I am home for breaks, I am available full time to care for your dog. I have had animal my whole life - I currently have a horse (not at home), two dogs, and two cats. I am an animal lover ad have been since I was very young. I have experience with dogs from many different backgrounds - my family has a well bred, level-tempered dog, as well as a rescue dog, who came to us very frightened and anxious (she is a big, outgoing, goofball now). In addition, I have cared for my dogs in their old age - one of my dogs, Bessi, died two years ago at the age of 15. She was a Brittany Spaniel and actually went completely blind for the last few years of her life. On the other hand, we got my newest dog, a rescue, about a year ago as a 2 month old puppy. In addition to my own pets, I have house- and pet-sat for countless families over that few years. From taking care of a horse farm for two weeks to staying at my neighbor's overnight to take care of her dog when she left for a family emergency - I have done it all. I feel that I have extensive personal experience with dogs (and other animals) from all backgrounds, of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I am a dog lover through-and-through, am trustworthy, and responsible.
