I have several years of personal experience caring for my own dogs as well as others' dogs and cats especially in their own homes. I'm 22, and so my youth enables me to keep up with dogs of all sizes and their exercise needs. I'm a musician, college graduate, and an avid hiker. Years of varied professional experience have provided me with great attention to detail, a strong work ethic, and an ability to attend to many needs simultaneously. My mother owns an Australian Shepherd puppy for whom I share caretaking responsibilities. The company of pets makes caring for them a very enjoyable and valuable experience. I'm always excited to meet and engage with new pets; I am soft-spoken and gentle-mannered, and generally get along very well with pets upon first meeting them.
