I am an animal lover and have grown up with dogs and did dog sitting in throughout my life. I love to run and take long walks in nature. I am an active person and compete in marathons and triathlons, but I don't expect your dog to ride a bike. I am playful and active, but also understand some older dogs need care, understanding and a little love. I am currently in between careers and looking into classes at MSU, but live in the Lansing area so I am available most days and nights. I am a former high school science teacher and Peace Corps Volunteer that has traveled the world. Currently, I don't have a pet, but I have cared for animals at my home and on farms and have always tried to help others, especially our "best friends."
