Growing up my mom used to pet sit so there were always different dogs in the house - big dogs, small dogs, I loved growing up around them. Eventually we got a dog of our own - a shih tzu named Chessie who recently turned 15(!) As a kid I would help take care of the dogs my mom watched - take the smaller ones on walks and she would pay me to clean up the yard after they left. After moving out of my parents house I’ve watched dogs for friends and family - a Spanish water dog named Maisie; a Great Pyrenees mix named Hank (I can handle the bigger ones now). Looking to meet more dogs and make a little extra money as I make my way through grad school!
