Svea loves being around animals. Throughout her childhood, she cared for many family pets - guinea pigs, parakeets, a rabbit, and our dog, Asher. When she left for college, she made sure her rabbit and parakeets went to good homes. Asher, a labradoodle now nine years old, misses her and always enjoys it when she comes home for a visit. Where she lives now, pets aren't allowed. She looks forward to the opportunity to take care of other families' pets, and I'm certain she will lavish attention on them just like she does with any animal she meets. As her mom, I can say that ever since she was a child, she has been responsible, hard-working, trustworthy, and dependable, and she continues to impress us with her accomplishments as a college student. I am certain that anyone who hires her for pet caregiving or housesitting will be more than satisfied with the job she does for them.
