I have experience working with special needs children and adults so I am versed in patience and showing compassion to everyone and everything. I have been around many types of animals my whole life including experience in caring for dogs, cats, lizards, fish, etc. I am also very adaptable and able to quickly read situations on walks and in the home. I love going for long walks and I would even be willing to take the animal on a run if allowed. I believe that all pets should get love, affection, and attention as much as possible. I do not mind cleaning up messes whether they are outside or accidents in the home. I am energetic and a graduate student so am willing to work with energetic pets or pets that just enjoy the calm presence of a human.
