19. Chiara P.
About: I've had dogs since I was 6 and have always been expected to care for them. Now that I'm at college I miss my dogs and would love to help others take care of their fury friends! I'm currently a student at Georgetown but I have many days where I have little to no classes and would love to help out on weekend when needed! I can take out your dog, feed them, or walk them around your neighborhood! I'm experienced in taking out dogs in fenced areas or on a leash and would love to spend time with them before leaving them in their crate/ room!
