I love animals, and have had years of experience with many varieties, including owning my own dogs, a quarter horse, an african grey parrot, and cats. All dogs are puppies in my eyes, they're enthusiastic, just want to have fun and be loved all the time, as much as possible, and I would like to do that when you can't. I grew up with a Shetland Sheep dog, who taught me so much before she left. I've been sitting for other people's pets for years, between my aunts' rescue dalmations a few weekends a year for trips, watching a friend's older doxie who needed help walking, sitting for friends when they're on their honeymoon for a few weeks, etc. I have experience caring with young dogs, older dogs, seeing eye dogs, and every other dog in between. I volunteered at a local animal hospital in Vineland throughout high school, and have been trained in administering medications of all sorts due to this experience, however I am not a certified technician, I just know and understand the process. I am a certified English teacher in the tri-state area, however. Currently, I am in a full-time grad school program at La Salle that has evening classes during the week. During the regular work week, I am a payroll administrator, so right now, my availability to sit is limited to the weekends, unfortunately, unless you need services to walk or check in around lunch time, I work in Williamstown, so that can be an option as well. During breaks, like summer and the winterim, I do open my availability with school not there to take up that time a little more. I am open to having dogs over at my place as a low-key boarding situation if you need to go out for a weekend. I do have a teenage cat, but he just plays or hides under the bed and no one seems to mind him other than his food bowl. If your pup isn't super cat friendly I would be a bit wary in accepting them into my home, but still feel free to contact me about it! Please don't hesitate in asking any questions or requests!
