I am a friendly, responsible, and hard-working individual. I have a graduate degree from UTK and currently work in higher education. I love caring for animals and understand that they are an important part of a family so I will always treat them as if they were my own pets. I typically have early mornings and evenings available (day for drop-ins or short walks), so if you need someone to watch your animal(s) or walk your dog(s), I would be more than happy to! In the past, I have lived and helped to care for several of my roommates' animals (dogs, cats, and a bunny). My family also had a small dog for 15 years (Puggle) and have had several cats so I am plenty comfortable and familiar with the care animals need. I also own a hedgehog and a bearded dragon. I'm willing to care for most animals and am more than willing to provide clients with regular updates while on vacation. I have reliable transportation and am willing to travel up to 15 miles within and close to Knoxville.
