I am a kind, animal-loving individual. I grew up around animals my entire life, and I am grateful for every moment that I've had with each of my furry friends. I have plenty of experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, and ferrets. My mom worked in a pet store for a long time in her young adult life, and she passed the skills she learned onto me. I am familiar with taking care of strays, rescues, elderly, and very young pets. I could even remember the times I would go to visit my elderly neighbor with my mom or grandma as a child and learn how to care for her pets until I could do so on my own. Just like humans, our furry friends have personalities and hearts of their own and I take that into account to give your furry family member the best care possible. Since graduating high school two years ago, I have house-sit and pet-sit for a family where I would walk the dogs, take them out to the yard for bathroom breaks (however often they are familiar with and need to), and administer oral medications. I am a Sophomore college student aspiring to be in the finance/business/accounting/actuarial industry and this would be something I am willing to do during breaks and holidays. If I am needed on a weekend during the semesters, I am willing to come back to Northern NJ to care for your pets. I live in an apartment in the Philadelphia area of Arcadia University, and I'm willing to do this also in that area at any given time during the semesters.
