I'm a dedicated and responsible animal lover. I graduated from UCSB with a degree in Biochemistry. I grew up in the country surrounded by animals, and I would love to spend time with your dogs, cats, and any other type of pet! I raised my 12 year old Border Collie, Jasper, who you can see in my profile picture. I took him to several livestock herding lessons and obedience training sessions, which is how I realized how much I love working with dogs. I'm very flexible, dependable, easy to work with, and will love your animals as if they are my own! I am very dependable and detail-oriented. I understand that some pets have special quirks and needs, and I will do anything to ensure your pet is properly cared for. I will communicate any questions or concerns with you immediately, and I will provide updates as frequently as you'd like.
