*****I can only dog sit/house sit for a week maximum******I recently graduated with my Ph.D in Sociology from Bowling Green State University and my boyfriend and I are new to the DC area (I can provide concrete evidence that I graduated from this institution with this degree). My family and I have had dogs since I was 11 years old (currently am 28) and during this time I have developed a passion for caring for animals. I care for all animals as if they were my own and easily bond with them. I have always had a special spot in my heart for dogs and cats, to the point where I want them to be a part of my daily life. I am skilled in young and high energy animals, as well as senior animals who are nearing the end of life and need extra love and care. I have done everything from training to staying up all night with sick animals and cleaning up their mess .During my graduate studies I was often referred to as the department animal sitter because I went out of my way to offer my help when I heard people were going out of town. Most times they didn't even have to ask, I would offer. I am excited to meet your beloved pets!
