I grew up with 5 dogs and 2 cats, and spent countless hours playing with the dogs in the yard, building pillow forts for the cats, or lounging on the couch with an oversized puppy on my lap. The dogs of my roommates and friends have been my favorite study buddies throughout college and graduate school, and I'm a go-to (and very enthusiastic) pet sitter for dogs, cats and occasionally rabbits when friends or family go out of town. I have experience caring for dogs in all stages of life, and am comfortable with most common activities and responsibilities that go along with caring for a pet. I have yet to find a dog that I haven't thoroughly enjoyed spending time with, and I look forward to more dog-filled days!
