I am a 24 year old college student, who is looking to make some extra income on the side doing what I love. I am studying social work because I love helping others. That includes animals because I believe since they can't speak they need people who have a voice to stand up for them. I have been an animal lover since I can remember. I have experience working with all kinds of dogs and cats because I have volunteered at the Orange County Animal Shelter walking dogs and socializing cats. I also worked at a dog kennel two summers ago where I walked, fed, administered medicine and cleaned up after 12 dogs or more at a time. My family and friends would describe me as compassionate, careful and reliable. I would love the opportunity to help care for your animals, with all the care, fun and dedication pets require. I consider this my job so I am home all day with the dogs, they are constantly being played with and getting a lot of affection. They are rarely alone and never longer than 2 hours.
