Pets

Great connection with animals

Pet care experience

If your pet loves attention, we’ll get along great! I live with my brother and our three dogs (a Boston Terrier + two sassy Chihuahuas), so caring for pups is just part of everyday life. I work and volunteer at shelters, so I know how to handle all kinds of personalities. Walks, feeding time, and lots of happy energy included!
