Hello, my name is Maricarmen , I am 19 years old and I'm very interested in caring for pets. I have a pet of my own. He is a one year old maltese/poodle. I’m comfortable with pets. I'm a straight A student and graduated high school with honors and won a few scholarships. I'm currently attending North Park University and studying Biology. I live in Albany Park and know my way in the city through train and bus because I've lived here my whole life. I'm going to be honest, this would be my first time as a pet care giver. I have a dog of my own as i mentioned before. I've had him for almost a year now and I've potty trained him, showed him tricks, groom him and more. He is my first dog ever and my first pet ever as well. My mom has a bird which I take care of. she used to have more than 10 birds, but we sold them as soon as we trained them. I feed them and clean them and their bird cage. Now with cats I've only taken care of 4 different cats. My cousins and my friends. I take care of them when they go out of town. I don't have a car nor a license yet, but I will soon get my license. I know my way through the city and can take any transportation to get to places. I am willing to house sit and also check in on pets. I speak English and Spanish fluently. I'm CPR certified, non-smoker, I have my own car and driver's license. I have a dog of my own so I'm comfortable with pets. I'd be happy to provide references as well as meet or chat on the phone. Hope to hear from you and I wish you the best of luck with your search.
