Hi, my name is Michaela G. and I am a graduate student at Wichita State University. When I was growing up I loved animals. When I was growing up we had a vast spectrum of animals from turtles to guinea pigs to cats to dogs. My best friend in the whole world is my parent's 15-year-old Jack Russell Terrier. When I was growing up I would housesit for my neighbor's dogs and cats and it expanded into a weekly passion when I started house sitting for two doctors in Derby, KS. Sydney and Chester, their two pets were so much fun to spend time with. House Visits and Stays I am an online graduate student and so my school travels with me. I believe that the best place for animals to be when their family is away is in their own house and in their own bed. Walks I have experience dog walking at all hours of the day. I understand the importance of animals getting time to get out and strength and have some fun human interaction as well as going to the bathroom.
