4.6

I am returning to Rover after several years of a hiatus because nothing makes me happier than animals. There has been a dog in my family since I was 12. My parents call me the "dog whisperer" because I was always the one who took the time to train our dogs. My brother and his wife, before I came to college, would always trust me with their dogs and cats when they went out of town. I am so lucky to have foster experience from a 1yo chocolate lab, Hershey Kiss as she recovered from kennel cough. Baby labs can be a handful, but I am proud of the level of attention, care, and love I was able to provide to an animal that needed it. I also have extensive rat ownership experience -- for 5 years, I researched, trained, and absolutely fell in love with rats. Currently, I live in a home with two dogs and a cat and always provide care for them when their parents aren't home (and sometimes when they are!) I excel in playing and wrestling and giving your little loves their much- needed exercise, and I am even better at giving them pets and kisses! I hope you give me a chance to love on your furbaby! I am a full time student at the University of Michigan, and I work part time in the service industry. My schedule is largely forgiving, but my main priority is communication -- if I am unable to provide a service, it's important to me that I let that known so you can get your family taken care of appropriately. Unfortunately, I am unable to accommodate boarding at this time. Contact me for drop ins, walks, or house sitting!
