Ever since I was born, I have been around dogs. Growing up, they were some of my best friends. During my childhood, I had a Flat-Coated Retriever and two Black Labs and loved taking care of them. One of those Labradors, Charlie, my parents still own and I have taken care of when they are out of town. Charlie is almost 14 years old, so I have experience with senior dogs. I once dog sat for one of my neighbors when I was younger, who had an awfully shy black lab. When they got home, they were surprised how ongoing and friendly she was. That meant that she opened up to me and felt comfortable when I came to visit. Currently, I live in apartment that does not allow pets, so this position gives me the opportunity to be with the animals that I love. I work part-time in Hartford, so I have plenty of time to visit your pet. I also have a reliable car that’s only a year old, so I will have no problem travelling to your house in the Hartford area and beyond. In addition, I have a Go Pro with a dog harness, so I can make a cool video from your dog’s point of view. Give me an opportunity and you won't regret it!
