About me: I am a dog lover working as a graduate student and living in Porter Square in Cambridge. I am a PhD student at Harvard. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule and spend most of my time reading/studying in my home. I have lived with and taken care of dogs since I was very young. I have experience dog walking, dog sitting, and working with animals at animal rescues and animal shelters. I have some informal experience with dog training and have upon request trained dogs I've watched to do tricks and performed them once their owner is back from their trip! I absolutely adore working with animals. It brings me so much joy! I am very active and would love to take your dog walking or running. Or if you have a sleepy dog, I love to cuddle with him or her and work on my studies. About my house: I live in the top floor of a Victorian house. It's very sunny and cozy! Animals are allowed on furniture. We have a small fenced dog run in the back of the house. We are walking distance from several parks and one nature preserve that I regularly go walking at. I live with my partner who is also a dog lover and will interact with the dog when she is home from work. About my services: I can offer as frequent potty breaks as needed. I generally take dogs out every 2-3 hours but am happy to offer a custom schedule. I am happy to walk, bathe, groom, feed, or play with your dog. I want your dog to feel at home with me! I will work with you to meet all of your dog's needs and preferences. I have a lot of experience working with sick, elderly, anxious or special needs dog. My dog of thirteen years had complex medical issues so I have lots of experience administering medications, changing diapers, and soothing a sick or anxious dog. I have worked with all breeds and all sizes! Feel free to message me with any questions!
