I am between jobs in mental health as a I prepare/apply to grad school and work as a high school track/ cross country coach! I grew up with cats, dogs, rabbits, and chickens. I also love and can care for small animals, reptiles, horses, etc). I am a post-collegiate distance runner and would love to take your dog running or walking (whatever is preferred!). I really enjoy the company of a dog (or multiple!) and am more than willing to go on long walks. I can handle "difficult" dogs and can cater to their specific needs. I have experience with both senior dogs and puppies. Back home I regularly care for a blind/deaf senior golden retriever. I helped my roommate raise an Aussie puppy in college- I took care of him most days. I will have availability for overnights and I currently don’t have dogs or any pets of my own living with me. I also recently spent 3 months in the UK housesitting/petsitting my way across the country. I cared for entire farms, dogs, cats, goats, horses, birds, etc with great success!
