I wasn't really sure how many years to put by the experience as I grew up pet sitting for friends and neighbors so it wasn't a consistent job (like this website). That being said, I have always had a passion for animals and animal care. Dogs especially are such compassionate creatures and spending time with them always puts a smile on my face! I never got to own a dog (small backyard growing up) so taking care of other people's is my outlet. As I am a college student I live in an apartment but that won't stop me from taking the dog out for walks/runs and play time. I'm working on a communication degree and pride myself in my communication/listening skills so if there is any kind of special treatment needed you won't have to tell me twice! I am home from the end of May to the end of July and am very flexible. I love all breeds and all ages! While it is nice to make money caring for dogs, I want to do this to help out owners and their beloved companions.
