Dogs bring so much joy into my life! I have been taking care of dogs since I was 9 years old and grew up on a farm where I learned to care for a number of animals. I have experience working with a wide range of dogs: elderly dogs who have trouble getting up and around, dogs who require regular medication, rescues and dogs with anxiety, puppies, and dogs of all sizes. I really enjoy caring for dogs and will give them genuine love and attention! I have taken college classes in applied behavioral sciences which I have applied to training and taking care of dogs by assessing and responding to their behavior. I officially started dog-sitting for neighbors back when I was in middle school because they knew I was trustworthy, reliable, and am a total animal lover. I have continued to take care of my own dogs and have been dog-sitting for family and friends over the past 5 years. I am finishing my PhD in neuroscience and hoping to add an additional source of income to help finance my move to another university to do a postdoctoral fellowship. Making some extra money while caring for dogs is my dream job!
