I currently have a lot of free time and would like to fill it with caring for dogs! We had a few dogs (and several cats) when I was growing up. I was a volunteer at an animal shelter in Southern Oregon during high school. Ever since then, I've had a great love and enjoyment of dogs. I had my own dog for a few years during which I gained a lot of experience caring for dogs. He had some minor health issues which required some special attention and care. I also have experience caring for pet rats and mice. I'm interested in dog walking and house sitting. I prefer to care for small to medium size dogs. I'm allergic to cats but I'm open to caring for them as well.
