My Dad used to run a dog boarding business in western Iowa. I helped him maintain and take care of the dogs ever since I can remember. I am a student at Iowa State and love all kinds of animals. I’m too young and busy to take care of an animal full time but find this to be a perfect place to take care and spend time with animals while making some money on the side. My parents have 2 very healthy mastiffs at home and have always had some sort of dog of our own growing up. I prefer to go to someone’s house and take care of/ walk the dogs at the homeowners house, but have no problem taking care of an animal at my apartment.
