“Bobbie is a very responsible, dependable and motivated young lady. For as long as I have known Bobbie, she has had pets and has always cared for them like they were a little brother/sister. She is compassionate, loving and a very happy young lady. She has fun with her animals now. I love how she is patient in training her dog: she speaks to her (Athena) with kindness and love and the love that Athena shows to Bobbie is obvious that she would be a wonderful dog caregiver. I highly recommend Bobbie for this position.”

16. Trenton R.
About: Since I was young, I have always had large breed dogs in the household, Rottweilers and German Shepards, and have always been comfortable with them. While in high-school and college, my fiance and I raised puppies for Guide Dogs for the Blind, 4 of our 5 puppies finished the program and were matched with people in need. We helped co-raise around 6 additional puppies as well. We also love cats, we have a tabby-calico mix named Teva, a lyxn point siamese named Minnie, and a gray siamese mix named Baby. Pima, one of the puppies that did not complete the program has been with us for 11 years now, and we have loved every moment of it. I am currently between jobs and basically open all the time. My fiance is a school teacher so I do prefer to have the weekend off. I do have a fully fenced yard, our cats are indoor only, but one does go outside on a leash because she is adventurous. Very respectful of other's space.
