My experience with pets was limited mostly to cats while growing up, but I love the spirit of play and participation in their owners' lives that dogs offer. I approach dogs the same way I approach human individuals: with respect, empathy, curiosity and affection within each individual's comfort zone. I make an effort to uphold a lifestyle that is cruelty-free and supportive of animal rights. Despite my relative lack of personal experience with dogs, I am confident that my personality and skill-level could be a great fit for you and your dog's needs. I have worked as a babysitter intermittently since junior high, and I believe many of the skills necessary for child-care carry over to many domesticated animals. Also, I'm willing to go on runs with your dog! Let me have fun and help supplement my income by hanging out with and caring for the furriest member of your family.
