I've lived with dogs for my entire 23 years of existence, and I treat them like family. Under my care, your pet will receive more than enough attention and care. Because I am unable to have dogs with me permanently at my new apartment, I would love to spend my free time helping you take care of yours. During college, I spent four years volunteering at Wish Bone Canine Rescue in Bloomington, IL, where I walked dogs alone and in groups, groomed, and assisted in daily canine necessities as well as assisting in adoption events. Personally, I grew up in a home with multiple dogs. I was responsible for walking and tending to my own dogs, and have a lifetime of experience behind me with many different breeds with varying personalities. Animals are truly my passion, and I treat every dog I come across with the utmost kindness. I currently work around 30 hours per week and am interested in filling up around 10-15 more with pet-sitting and walking. Hiring me would actually be doing me a favor, as I hardly find that looking after pets is anything close to 'work'. I genuinely love being around dogs, and allowing me to hang out with yours would be the best way I could possibly think of to spend my free time.
