I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them isn’t just something I enjoy, it’s who I am. Back home in Ecuador, my two dogs, Pepper (a Jack Russell) and Pinky (a Senior Chihuahua), along with Mi Niño (my rescued cat), are truly my whole world. Being away from them now while living in Boston has only made me realize how much joy and purpose animals bring into my life. I grew up with not one, not two, but three Jack Russells, so if you know the breed, you know they’re full of energy and personality. That means I come with plenty of real, hands on experience, patience, and the ability to handle even the most active pups. I am currently a Psychology student in Boston and a Intern at Boston Children’s Hospital, where I work on the HBCD Study. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week. Right now, I live in an apartment in Seaport and nothing would make me happier than having the chance to care for, support, and give attention to pets who need it. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own.
