I grew up with my childhood dog for about 12 years. Once she passed away, I realized how truly wonderful and nurturing it is to care for someone or something who loves you unconditionally. My relevant skills are that I have taught high school social studies for the past two years and managing hordes of teenagers every day has given both the patience and appreciation for taking care of animals. I would love to have standard dog walks and dog visits over the summer while I am on break and hope to continue this work on weekends when I start school again in late July.
