I've been caring for dogs my entire life with my Golden Retriever growing up as well as dogs of family friends, however I really focused on dog-sitting while in High School. I would house-sit for one of my close friends and that meant taking care of their two large labs who had separation anxiety. After a little the dogs warmed up to me and we had a blast playing and eventually passing out on the couch. I really enjoy working out with dogs in order to wear them out and get good exercise for both the dog and I. Currently, I was offered a job as an Animal Care Technician through NC State's vet campus and some of my duties will include taking care of the animals that are available for adoption so I anticipate gaining even more knowledge when it comes to caring for dogs.
