Ever since I was little I have loved animals. They bring so much unconditional love and joy into people's lives. I have a lot of experience working with and taking care of dogs. I volunteered at the SPCA in Charlottesville, VA for three years where I was a dog walker and cat socializer. I have also volunteered with Service Dogs of Virginia where I helped train service dogs. I have been actively pet-sitting in the Charlottesville area for two years doing drop-by visits, walks and house sitting. I am a graduate student at the University of Virginia but will be graduating in May. This summer I will have a very open, flexible schedule and so I would love to spend it being around some amazing dogs.
