About: I've been around and cared for dogs since I was 5 years old, which included my own, grandparent's, and in-law's dogs. I am a very compassionate and loving person who will give your dog the care it needs. I'm currently looking to make extra money as I continue to search for a fulltime work from home position. I am available any time after 10 am and available on the weekends. I have a small unfenced yard in a country like setting that is perfect for taking dogs for a walk. I currently don't have a dog of my own but am looking to adopting one soon.
About: I’ve had a dog of my own since 2018, Ciri and I started when she could fit in my hand. Since then, I’ve added two more dogs to the home and it’s come in all types. I’ve dealt with them deathly sick, scared, nervous, hyper, and sleepy. I work full time at SIUC, but my friend and roommate is a retired Army veteran who spends most of his time at home. Unless something very unexpected happens, the dogs are not left alone for more than 4 hours. My house has two separately fenced in yards and I have three friendly dogs of my own and my roommate has one cat. We’re laidback and at constant war with husky hair, but we get by with optional crating and indoor and outdoor time whenever your pup needs it.
