I have had animals my whole life! I currently have a senior dog who is my boy and has traveled to college with me at Texas Tech, to South Carolina, and back to Austin, Texas. He is so very precious to me as are all animals. I was always nervous about having strangers watch my dog because I did not think they would care for and love on him as much as I did, so I can assure you I will treat your animals as my own. I go on hikes often! If you ever want your dog to go on a longer walk, feel free to let me know! I keep first aid with me. I am currently a high school teacher, so have many 3 day weekends, and all the breaks to spend with your animals! I will respect your home and belongings and come by just to do my job. My focus is ensuring the best care for your animals!
