A typical day

I work as a preschool teacher and get home to my dog around 6pm. I love taking him out right away and taking him to the dog run in my building. Lots of pup cup trips and trips to my parents farm!

Pet care experience

I have been around animals since I was very little. I have had pet responsibilities since the age of four. Growing up, I had tons of cats and kittens, bunnies, turtles, dogs, fish, chickens, you name it. After graduating high school I adopted my dog Sam from a shelter. I love taking him on walks or runs every day. Or letting him roam around at the dog park. He provides me with tons of enjoyment every day! I am currently an online college student working very hard to be financially independent. I work Monday-Friday 8:15-5:15

I have used Rissa in the past when I had changes going on and needed visits for my two dogs. Rissa came at very short notice. Provided photos. She is trustworthy and good.
