I am a 28-year-old recent grad graduate and first year high school teacher! I have been dog sitting for about 14 years on and off and have learned a great deal through all of my experiences with all sorts of different pups. I have been walking neighbor's and friend's dogs for a few years now and have gotten many jobs from Dog Vacay (which is now Rover). While in college I would volunteer about 25 hours a semester at a local dog shelter in Scottsville, NY and loved going there to take them all on walks, play, or just snuggle up with them and show them some love. I have had pets my whole life, all different breeds and sizes. I currently have 1 dog at my parent’s home: a Beagle, aged 6, named Beanie. I have trained her to listen to my commands as well as house-trained her. While in college I adopted my own dog, a 10-month-old Corgi/Terrier mix named Bear (currently 5 years old). I also decided to certify him as an emotional support animal. I have rearranged my college schedule to make sure I had enough time in my day to take care of him like he deserves! My responsibilities daily include walking him every few hours, feeding him, playing, making sure he's comfortable, healthy, safe and, of course, happy! I trained him to learn and obey commands in English and ASL. I have also recently adopted another dog, a Boxer/Husky mix named Kora. She is 3 years old and a big ball of energy! I had to start training from scratch with her and she is now fully house trained and being trained in English and ASL while learning commands, just like Bear! While caring for your pet, I will treat them as if they were my very own. Being an overprotective dog mom, I know what it’s like to leave your baby in someone else’s hands, even just for a walk! That being said, I will do everything to make you and your pups as comfortable and happy as possible.
