My name is Mikaela, I am 22 years old. I have been dog walking and dog sitting for friends and family since I was seven years old. I have have two dogs and a cat currently, however through out my life I have looked after four to five at a time. I have a passion for working with animals. As of now I am studying Biology at Purdue Northwest University and hope to one day make a carreer of it. Currently I volunteer at local animal shelters, helping with rescues and abused pets. I hope to reduce that number one day. I am also looking forward to traveling outside of the United States to other countries, and helping rescues and abused animals. So far I have been to Thailand and I've witnessed many dogs being abused and I hope to change that one day!
